To get to know Laravel, I forced myself to build a project with it for a few weeks and I did not like it.

I found myself getting sucked in into a complex project structure and dealing with all kinds of strangeness like "artisan commands", "the autoload cache" etc.

With Django, I can build a web application in a single file that has "import django" on top and take it from there:

You can do that with Symfony.

Laravel is excellent for building a website, for smaller projects there are simpler tools and frameworks
