Quite a few errors with this blog post:
1. Laravel does support shared hosting. I know this because I’m using it for several sites on the same shared hosting
2. Laravel only performs the queries you ask it to. If you write bad ORM code, you get lots of queries, that will be the same for any of these frameworks
3. Phalcon is open source, it’s no less open than Laravel
4. Bugs in Phalcon can be worked on by anyone, same as any other framework
5. Symfony2 does work in MVC environments
6. CodeIgniter is severely out of date and doesn’t support modern PHP features
7. CodeIgniter has security issues which have been outstanding for years without being patched by the dev team
8. CodeIgniter was dropped by its original team for almost a year which meant that work on it was almost non-existent
9. Zend can be used for rapid application development
10. Slim isn’t that new, it’s been around since 2011
These mistakes make the blog post look more like opinion than researched fact.
