Actually it is almost apples to oranges. The philosophy of CakePHP has been
to be a full stack, highly opinionated framework, I very much prefer this.
This is in stark contrast with Laravel where you can do the complete app in
the Router. This is great for developing concepts but encourages bad
practices. Also there is a lot of confusion in Laravel land as to what goes
where and everyone and their brother have their own perfect App folder
setup.
The coolest thing which I miss is the ViewModel pattern which Laravel does
via View::composer, in cake the best I can do is create a helper and use it
as ViewModel - I used this a lot to create widgets in my applications
Another thing which I liked was http verb prefixing to controller actions,
so for example getAdd and postAdd are separate methods called on
appropriate http methods avoiding the "if ($this->request->is('post'))"
spaghetti in controllers.
Strong focus on using migrations for database/table creations.
Built in messaging queue system with multiple backends - though they do not
have gearman by default
Validation as a service
There are several such things which made me go - Oh! they have this,
Nice...
That said - here I am back with CakePHP because I just never felt at home
out there :)
