Yes, that is something I did notice.
Like you said, Laravel’s documentation seems to be a lot more detailed as compared to CakePHP, but this is (like you also said) due to the big amount of people using it (with new people joining in every day).
A big point of Laravel is that they have a rather big ecosystem with stuff like Blade (it’s templating engine), Artisan (which is as far as I can tell WAY more powerful than Bake), Horizon, Dusk and Echo.
That’s actually something I sorta “hate” about CakePHP… it doesn’t have awesome tools like those
