Man, I haven't thought about Symfony in awhile.

I took a job at a subcontracting about 9 years ago, where I was mostly doing Node.js work, but there were some projects using Symfony, and even after using it on/off for a month, I have to say I never really "got" it. I could tell there's something there that's fairly cool, but I never really was able to wrap my head around all the folders.

I've become a way better programmer since then, so I have thought about trying it out again, but nothing in my day job uses PHP anymore, and I've moved away from web since then.

I really enjoyed using Symfony for a lot of years.

The frameworks around before, Zend & CodeIgniter, were flawed in my opinion and Symfony was a breath of fresh air. More recently though, it feels like Laravel is doing a better job at letting people just get on with building a website.

It takes the best ideas from CodeIgniter, Symfony, Kohana, Drupal and Doctrine…
