Laravel seems to be doing great. The number of improvements in DX and the ecosystem is moving at a nice pace. I often compare it with Ruby On Rails framework (my primary stack) which is unfortunately not focusing much on DX anymore.

For instance, Laravel has been consistently improving authentication by providing official packages right into the framework. Whereas, Rails still doesn't have an official gem backed into the framework. The recent change of hands of "devise" gem would have been a great opportunity for Rails to take it over.

The problem with RoR is still a Basecamp Framework. Even though it is used by Github and Shopify. Things like ActionView-Component [1] couldn't be merged because it is not used in Basecamp, even though it is used in production at Github. Auth / Devise as mentioned is another one. Active Storage problem is another one, ( which leads to Paperclip stop being maintained )
