One of the great developments in the PHP eco-system is the use of components and the inter-op standards developed around them [1].

For many years now, "frameworks" such as Symfony and Zend have been mainly been a set of components with an optional thin framework layer. So, not frameworks in the traditional sense.

For those interested, another great resource is "Create your own framework on top of the Symfony Components":

As a former php dev (15 years ago), it fills my heart with joy every time I see PHP-FIG and composer related innovation. They are the best things which could have happened to PHP.

Yes, clearly composer was a huge step for PHP, there is a before and after composer.
