I would argue that Symfony is well engineered, not over engineered. The fact that Laravel is already at version 5 demonstrates just how poorly engineered it was in the first place.

That's an odd argument. Is Rails poorly designed because it's had 4 versions, or Django because it's had 8? Seems much more to do with the pace of the development than the architectural quality, to me.

EDIT: It depends on what the versioning represents.

I don't think there have been as many breaking changes in Rails vs Laravel, and Rails at v4 has been over ... 9-10 years? Laravel is < 6 years old, with, from what it seems to be, rather significant philosophical changes between major versions. Doesn't mean it's bad, but perhaps closer to using gentoo vs centos.

It is a well known fact that one can deduce the quality of a software product simply by the the number that comes after its name.

So Internet Explorer is a better engineered product than Chrome and Firefox?

Is that supposed to be funny? Maybe he went all "autistic" too? Perhaps he types like a "Jerry's kid"?

Grow up, and behave like an adult who actually takes care in choosing their words.
