What's your favorite example of great, maintainable open source software written in clean PHP?
I'd like to look at a good example to give it another chance.

many projects use modular components from these and others.
also check out some repos with a lot of stars https://github.com/search?l=PHP&q=stars%3A%3E1&s=stars&type=...
careful though, Wordpress is there also.

while i have not profiled it myself, i've certainly experienced how slow it can be with deep dependency graphs stemming from a few, common top level "require"s. i dont want its slowness to be equated to poor PHP perf in general or something equally unwarranted.
The author is comparing Composer to Bundler, which makes no sense because Composer does a lot more than Bundler. With Composer you can do things exactly the way you want. He says "I don't know what it does under the hood, if it clones every single repository of every required package independently of it being necessary", proving that he didn't even bother learning how to use the tool.
There is no way you can live with Bundler after having used Composer. Trust me, I was a Rails guy.
I'm not here to get into another PHP debate. Non-phpers can waste all their time hating if they want, and then go fight with all the problems they have with outdated components like Bundler, create hacks to simulate features that are native in PHP and other OOP languages (eg: interfaces in ruby, abstract classes in python), etc. I'll just get things done in a professional manner using what seems to be the best web platform of our time and then enjoy life.
- Behat https://github.com/Behat/Behat - a BDD framework
- phpSpec https://github.com/phpspec/phpspec - specBDD framework
- Sylius https://github.com/Sylius/Sylius - an e-commerce solution built using Symfony and BDD.
All of these are written with current best practices, respect SOLID principles etc.
Stash - PHP Caching Library https://github.com/tedivm/Stash
Fetch - IMAP Mail Reading https://github.com/tedivm/Fetch
JShrink - Javascript Minification https://github.com/tedivm/JShrink
I've also created a PHP Project Template (https://github.com/tedivm/PhpProjectTemplate) that includes things like composer, unit test configuration, travis-ci and coveralls integration, and various other things that people can use to bootstrap their modern php project.

Written, unsurprisingly, by Facebook. Probably runs pretty well on HipHop I would imagine.
That made me chuckle.
