It really depends on what you plan to do.
I believe this is well-intentioned but misguided advice. I assert that it more about "how you like to work" than it is about "what you plan to do".
You can do pretty much the same things in one framework as you can in another. Some particular tasks may require more workaround effort than others in each different framework, but none of them will prevent you from doing any particular task.
What you *cannot* do is change the fundamentals of how the framework wants *you* to work. Each framework makes assumptions about how you should structure your approach to the work you need to do. Each one imposes a different kind of structure to your work. Once you know how you like to do things, the best framework for your style of working will become obvious after you examine them.
For an expanded take on this theme, you may wish to read my article from last year's PHP Advent, "The Framework As Franchise."
