Laravel is the leading PHP framework by far, I don't think it's up for debate. Ruby also has many frameworks (Padrino, Hanami) but it's obvious Rails is the common choice.
Laravel is as much of a leading framework as React/NextJS are the leading frameworks for JS(next 2.5 million weekly downloads on npm, react 15 million). Its almost a 1:1 comparison. In the same way that I already pointed out JS like php, has a million fw but insiders know what the leading ones are. Everyone knows React is the clear on top winner. NextJS is also a clear on top FW. I dont think its up for debate at this point.
