> Its awful documentation plays a big role in this

Laravel is lauded by many for its fantastic documentation. It's not comprehensive, but it's still pretty extensive, easy to read, and the gaps are only for niche situations.

As far as the API docs, what is your complaint about them?

I know absolutely nothing about Laravel and haven't touched PHP in nearly 20 years - but within about 10 seconds on Google I found the following, which at first glance looks pretty comprehensive:

https://laravel.com/api/4.2/

That is an old version, the current being https://laravel.com/api/6.x/ but I have to agree, I have found them to be great. There is no reference to the API docs from the main website though, which I have always found odd.

There is - I guess it's not super easy to find. But if you go to the main documentation page, it's under the "Prologue" heading.
