**What do you like best about Laravel?**

There are a few reasons I started using Laravel The first one was a clean and simple API which support the most important principle in programming DRY (don't repeat yourself). Another point was great documentation which lets you start quickly and guides you step by step. The last but not least was testability.

**What do you dislike about Laravel?**

In my experience working with junior developers I have noticed one drawback which can impact others as well. Laravel has been implemented with many great design patterns. Those design patterns make Laravel extremely flexible and allow to use many other features. On the other hand, for young developers who don't have enough experience it requires more time for development.

Great support is the main problem Laravel solves for my business.
