Yet Filament manages to be fairly 'pretty' out of the box. I did a POC for a client project, and replicated about 10% of their current system in about a month, and got a fair amount of praise from folks at both the professional look/style/feel, yet... I did 0 on the styling, just used the defaults.

Yes, Filament has some rough edges when you try to color outside the lines, as with any toolkit. However, I don't think I've found anything else that comes remotely close to the combination of productivity and decent styling out of the box. Not just in PHP, but in any stack.
