Is it some kind of joke that still 4% are with Code Igniter? Code Igniter is only good if you are very new and want to do something very minimal and never wanted a career in development, just you had to use one of those frameworks.
@atom I understand but believe me, starting from Laravel will be better for you if you want to go further with development. What I want to convey is to motivate you guys towards Laravel, even in start of career, it will be good if you will see many other good practices, more design patterns etc. In fact with Laracasts it will be less overwhelming and more enjoyable.
