Frankstein-ing frameworks like this is asking for trouble. This smells like something that was made by devs because they hated working on WP, not understanding that the reason why WP is picked if often due to political reasons, not technical ones.

I predict two forces will turn these kinds of projects into spaghetti: Actual devs working on resolving issues with code, less technical people fighting to use plugins and other add-ons to add functionality.

Other projects in this space include:

It’s great.

Laravel itself is a Frankenstein with Symfony, so...
