I'm more of a fan of PHP/Symfony rather than PHP/Laravel.
But you know what? I would expect I would like Ruby/Rails as well, as it follows the similar kind of philosophy, which is server-side rendered templates with Javascript sprinkles.
I think Rails and Symfony both have the benefit of being a fairly consolidated solution. You don't seem to have the same proliferation of packages, as with Javascript.
What I'm not a fan of, is Javascript SPAs where there is no reason for using them.
