Is it possible that maybe you're biased towards Code Igniter because you're very familiar with it ? Your criticism that Laravel hides a lot of code is valid (The fact that it requires stub files or a plugin for autocompletion to work properly in your IDE is proof of that. But the "think of the newbies" argument is overused and not really fair here I think : It's a framework, of course it's going to allow you to take shortcuts, but it's up to the user to learn PHP first and look at the source code (which is full of magic but rather clean and well documented) to understand what they're using.
