As a long-time PHP developer, I love Laravel, all of its features, and how the community has built around it, but there are a couple of pain points I felt when I used it last year, not sure if these have improved:

1. Very difficult to get running in shared hosting.

2. Feels a bit heavyweight for a SPA (Single Page Application) where the Javascript front-end framework (e.g. Angular, React) is doing most of the work, and the PHP Laravel backend is just processing the CRUD APIs in REST.

For the SPA case they have a slimmed down version called Lumen.
