I like Laravel, I haven't made anything with it in many years but my recollections of it are all good feelings.
PHP is intuitive to me, maybe because I used to write straight HTML with notepad++ many years ago.
I tried to get into JavaScript development, SPA stuff and even node. I can do it but I always feel that I'm doing something wrong (likely accurate) and chasing which framework to use becomes exhausting.
Do I ...
Vanilla js
jQuery
Underscore
Backbone
Angular
Ember
React
Etc.
F%$k it just shoot me already and get it over with.
And don't get me started with the hell that is CSS
