Yup, I much prefer PHP to js hell but laravel is great until you want to actually build something novel. Then it gets in your way with a million layers of indirection all the way down.

JS is much more friendly when it comes to plug n play.

Can you give an example of this? Laravel is very modular - you don't have to use it all if you want to call out to something more complex.
Plugging in your own thing is like swimming against the current.

It's nothing specific, just everything becomes harder.
