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

silex it's a micro framework which means small in size and easy to use

**What do you dislike about Silex?**

they stop development and recommend using symfony instead

**What problems is Silex solving and how is that benefiting you?**

actually i never use silex in production, just playing around with it coz in my work place, we use lumen or laravel as a base fw to use for our projects.
but actually it's cool and easy to use. i just don't have chance to use it in production.
