Framework choosing

Hello everyone,

This post is not another Symfony vs. Laravel. I just want to know you experiences.

For some context, I have a background in Yii Framework. Started from version 1.1, then 2.0. Since their components are mostly coupled with Bootstrap, I've decided to try another framework.

I learned Symfony at the beginning. Finished all courses, read many articles and saw many videos about the framework. With that, I've successfully created a small helpdesk ticket system, with multi tenant support. The debug toolbar was a life saver.

Recently I've started to learn Laravel, saw its ecosystem and there are many good bundles, starter kits and many nice tutorials. I still didn't finished the course, and the differences are overwhelming.

What made you choose Symfony over Laravel? Or Laravel over Symfony? Is it worth it to learn both frameworks?
