Pros
Pro Fully compatible with Laravel templates
Although one can use Blade outside of Laravel (via third party repos), it still requires quite a bit of the Laravel library. Edge has zero dependencies and works just as fast if not faster than Blade. You can fully use Laravel's documentation in addition to Edge's own.
