#22This is a great idea. My main gripe (on a very short evaluation) with Laravel is that the default application that artisan gives you comes with a lot of files dotted around the directory structure. With something like Rails these tend to be locked away in a gem and so when using CTRL+T (or similar) you get a lot of cruft popping up. That said I do like the things that Laravel gives you out of the box like auth and th…
`php artisan fresh` removes a lot of the default files. They're intended as a starting point for new users but are entirely removable.
This command has been removed since like half year ago. https://github.com/laravel/framework/commit/37ebc7ecc693405a...

#23Why space? Why not tabs? Why do I need to press 10 times space instead of 2 times the tab?

If you're pressing spaces to align indentation, you're doing it very, very wrong.

#26http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/releases#laravel-5.1 In previous versions of Laravel, encryption was handled by the mcrypt PHP extension. However, beginning in Laravel 5.1, encryption is handled by the openssl extension, which is more actively maintained. This is easily my favorite aspect of the new release. Please, everyone else, follow their example and stop using mcrypt in your projects.
Annoyingly I just set up a Laravel install for evaluation on OSX and wrestled with getting mcrypt to work!
IM(not so H)O, wrestling with Mac is not worth anyone's time. Using Vagrant or a similar VM setup will get you in an environment much more like "production" and with fewer headaches caused by mac's special snowflake OS.
(I personally use Mac as my host OS, because I love it, except when it comes to installing server software).

Have you seen any benchmarks? Route and config caching is a huge improvement in 5.0

Probably not when it's running on HHVM, it has 100% integration with it.

#29By extension, would Lumen (Laravel's micro framework sibling) also now have LTS releases?
It will use 5.1's base libraries, so "yes" (with air quotes).

Every editor in existence supports pressing tab to insert spaces and correctly handling backspace in those instances
