I made a mistake in asking this question. I guess there was a limit to the question length, which for some reason I didn't see.
regardless hear is my full question with a little bit of detail.
I have been assigned to build a Drupal 8 "CMS" system. After working for sometime with mild success there is a possibility to use another framework to build a more flexible and robust platform.
The scope of the project is not defined which is part of the problem, but I digress. (Basically, I working with people who don't have clue as to what they want) I think it's time to move away from Drupal and build a custom CMS. As the project will have a variety of non Drupal feature in the months to come. Now what I need is some facts to back this up. Wappalyzer used to provide charts of usage of certain frameworks.
I was wondering if there any site or articles out there I could use to prove to a non-technical person, why we should move away from Drupal. Website usage, security concerns, or hiring trends, etc.
Although I don't mind Wordpress, it has such a bad security reputation, the sysadmin won't consider it.
I would like to use Laravel or Codeigniter but need some evidence as to back it up.
CodeIgniter was great back in its time but has been supplanted by Laravel in its organization of code. However what CI did well, in my opinion, is it lets you spin up a MVP in a really quick turnaround time and effective enough for small businesses.
Codeigniter is still great. I was always Symfony guy but last year I've ended up in a company that had software build on CI and I really like it. Of course it's totally different than Symfony but it's simple, allows for a lot of customisation (we introduced Laravel Blade templating system). Of course you should always thing about your project requirements and future development. Think also about how easy it is to learn in case you will want to extend your team.
