That was mostly branding, "I'm not a code monkey banging out the same thing as has been done 500 times before I'm an artisan.

Meanwhile the actual framework breaks backwards compatibility regularly and frequently and only just with 6 picked a damn versioning system.

Imo my opinion if you want to see a good framework that solves it's problems mostly well and is properly decoupled then Symfony kicks the shit out of Laravel on documentation, religious adherence to deprecating and backwards compatibility as well as genuinely useful/genuinely decoupled components.

The author of Laravel knew that as a massive chunk of Laravel depends on Symfony components, in fact the earlier versions where basically Ruby on Rails implemented via Symfony.
