> Doesn’t this just highlight that php development ecosystem doesn’t value quality much?

As opposed to which web development ecosystem exactly? The only web development ecosystem with overall decent quality software that I could come up with is Java, and their understanding of quality is... enterprise-y.

Give me a mature PHP framework over a NPM dependency tree, python web framework, or ruby on rails any day. At least when looking for 'quality'. Relatively.



Which PHP frameworks do you have in mind?


Laravel, or any Symphony based framework is a great choice.

PHP is a very modern and mature language at this point. If the first thing you think of is Wordpress, then you’re behind.


I agree with these points although going back to the grandparent comment, the value of being able to show the source code of a controller with these frameworks by appending a query string is close to zero.


And how relevant do you think highlight_file is for symphony or laravel?


Probably none.
