Laravel is like WordPress, it gets popular thanks to its fanciness. They keep adding cool things from here and there.

Symfony for me is industry standard, it's for serious projects that want to stick with with battle tested, well thought out platform.

I agree with everyting except with the "Laravel is like Wordpress" bit.

Yes, Laravel is big and heavy if you want to use more features. You could very well build a lightweight performant application with only a few of it's features if you wanted to.

So, I view laravel as a nice wrapper to symfony with some cool new features, but yeah. symfony could be viewed as an industry standard or at least a starting point for any sort of project
