Explore alternatives to Laravel

The only thing that made Laravel's abuse of magic methods tolerable was barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper and it doesn't work for Laravel 11.5 and higher, as it gets confused by the generics and generates nonexistent types like \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\TValue. barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper#1572 is closed, but the same issue remains even when using the dev-master version of the helper.

Things are still in an early phase, and I'd rather invest a day or two switching than a year of fighting Laravel. I gave Laravel a chance, and it failed to keep up its end of the bargain.
