Because:
- Battle proven
- Secure
- Well maintained
- Well documented
- Fully featured (a lot more than others such as Django or Rails. Jobs, auth, asset manager, etc out of the box)
- Doesn't hate JavaScript, embraces it (hello Rails!).
- The templating system, Blade, is pretty great...you can even do components.
- Opinionated and not that many different ways to do the same thing, makes things more consistent
- Performance is good enough for 99.9% of use cases. For the other 0.01% add Octane.
- Great, friendly and professional community. Top high quality packages with lots of users and well maintained.
- Excellent frontend integration packages in case blade is not your thing: Inertia, Livewire, Hotwire, etc.
- Lots of people know it and like it, so easy to hire for too.
- Code organization makes a lot of sense to me (hello Django!)
