PHP Framework Popularity Survey: Laravel Leads Across Teams, Projects, Countries, and Age Groups
A month‑long SitePoint survey of developers worldwide shows Laravel as the most popular PHP framework in both team and personal projects, with distinct preferences by country and age group, and highlights the reasons behind its dominance.
SitePoint spent a month conducting a survey on PHP framework usage and found that, regardless of team or personal projects, country, or age group, Laravel is the most widely used framework.
The top three PHP frameworks are: Laravel, Symfony2, and Nette.

As shown, Laravel is the champion in both team and personal projects; some argue that distinguishing frameworks may introduce data distortion, but overall Laravel remains unrivaled.
Voting results by country
Interesting observations: English‑speaking countries favor Laravel; French‑speaking regions stick with Symfony; the Czech Republic prefers the less common Nette; Ukraine leans toward the niche PHPixie.
One sentence: Different tastes for different people!
Voting results by age group
In the age‑group voting, Laravel again takes the gold, closely followed by Symfony.
Laravel is a simple, elegant PHP web development framework that frees developers from spaghetti code, offering expressive syntax, high‑quality documentation, and a rich ecosystem of packages, earning it the reputation of a "master‑class" PHP framework.
Reasons Laravel Is Highly Favored
Beyond writing good code, the creator’s charisma, promotion, and support matter; Laravel’s creator Taylor provides excellent documentation, commercial services, and partner products.
