Laravel is a good choice for web applications because it has strong security features, tools like ORM and templating, and an active community. It is supported by tools like Laravel Spark, Nova, and Homestead. The Laravel framework handles tasks like routing, sessions, caching and logging so developers can focus on building features. Large sites like 9gag and OnePlus were built with Laravel due to its features and community support.
