Whenever I do use Laravel the first thing I do is swap out blade for twig. I'm pretty sure no one would use blade if Laravel hadn't decided on it.

It's weird that a framework so self-consciously dedicated to 'best practices' would ignore what's considered one of, if not the, best templating systems in PHP. Particularly given the extra benefits twig provides out of the box (automatic escaping, a function sandbox, hooks for writing your own plugins and parsers, etc.)
