Contrary to Ed's experience, I use straight PHP. Over the years, I've built
libraries to simply handle fields/forms and databases. I dislike
indirection, as it makes the code more difficult for me to understand.
Also, while I use OOP for the model, I use individual page controllers in
their own "landing" files to drive my app. I've done it the OOP way before,
with each website function a separate method in a controller class, but
I've found it makes the code more complicated and less accessible.

Most of the services Laravel offers I don't need. However, to each his own.
