I've seen working with Laravel for years. I recently (Friday) released a Django version for my AI CRM builder (provide a few words and use ChatGPT to build a CRM)

I used packages with similiar functionality to Laravel (orator, Django Breeze)

Everything translated well. The choice of backend didn't matter as much as I thought it would.

Using VS Code compared to PHPStorm was the only part of the experience that felt degrading. Using PyCharm might have changed that.

I don't think it matters as much as it once did.
