I'm a newbie PHP programmer now casting an eye at frameworks, and among them Laravel sounds appealing to me as a beginner (somehow unfortunately because I've already invested in literature on Zend 2). However, debugging is important to me and from what I could find on the net, Laravel is hard to debug. I currently use Xdebug in Netbeans on native PHP code and wonder whether Laravel can be debugged in the same or a similar way? When I open a new Netbeans project I can select Symfony 2 or Zend 2, but there seems to be indeed no support for other frameworks like Laravel? If not, is there at least an equivalent debugging tool?
