The thing is you have to be a medium-to-expert to be confident about Composer dependencies, every new dev is going to use the language API, which resembles a bunch of functions with no general pattern.

PHP users need to keep it together and set a common base, a standard library with sane defaults.

I am new to PHP and I started right off with composer -- all you have to do is composer require pkg dev-master [or other pin].

I don't see how this is different from gem install pkg.

Some of the biggest names in PHP are working on that exact idea!
