I have one name for you: Symfony

More or less directly opposite of what Laravel is preaching. It's the popular choice for anything that is being build long term. It is very popular in Europe and we have a far bigger community around it than Laravel does.

Symfony made many architectural mistakes early on, including with the way they used to do injection and so on, but to their credit, the community seems curious and strives for quality, so over time it has become a very interesting project. I stay away from frameworks, in general, but the Symfony components are excellent.
