We have in the ecosystems a lot of micro frameworks. My personal experience is that it’s a quick start but so are “big” frameworks (Laravel or Symfony). I mean, they are not that “big”.

And in fact I setup a standard framework as fast as a microframework.

My experience with micro-frameworks is: building, then the app becomes bigger, and I need to add components of frameworks, and it is slow to dev because I need to setup all by myself because there’s no integration on my microframework. Worst: it becames slower because the cache is not setup properly. Omg cache, I need a new component from a framework.

You see what I mean? This is why I don’t get the point of microframework.

But we’ll, they exist, they have communities… This is why I’m here asking you, why are they popular, what are the good use cases?

Thanks!
