Laravel is unique in that it has always had a lot of paid services based around it. There are a lot compared to other frameworks. If you go to Laravel's page you can see them all. One of my teams was using Forge and Envoyer probably 10 years ago.

And nobody complains because they are completely optional and Taylor Otwell's team puts so much effort into the framework.

And the team also dogfoods heavily.

Laravel has excellent DX because the people building it use it to build those products.

Laravel started out as a PHP Rails-clone, no?

It like Wordpress but without the drama.

The only thing WordPress and Laravel have in common is that both are written in PHP.

But if you've used Laravel, you know it's pleasant to write apps with it.
