#4How does this compare to other PHP frameworks?
It's very easy to get going with and to learn.
It has good documentation (available here[0] for version four) and the code is filled with comments if the documentation isn't enough.
It uses "Eloquent ORM" which makes it so easy to handle data with Active Record.
RESTful controllers makes it easy to handle the request.
And much more, which is why you need to read the documentation to understand why it's different.

#5How does this compare to other PHP frameworks?
my take:
- easy to use / learning curve is not steep
- very well documented
- contains the basics (no do-it-all overblown class library like Zend)

#7Personally I like to follow coding standards when writing app in given framework, so I always start with looking at what they look like and I find that very often there is something that I personally find off e.g. in lavarels case they use tabs for indentation or classes have braces in the same line as class name, but not methods. Other than that project looks great!

#8I really liked the static method shortcuts Laravel has for almost everything. Too bad it's almost as slow as Symfony, because it uses so many of it's (great) components.

Easier to develop for thanks to the great syntax, but unfortunately slower than everything except symfony.

Does anyone have any benchmarks?
I've only made a couple of sites using Laravel but I actually really like it and haven't hit any performance bottlenecks yet.
