Is there a go-to framework?

As the titel says, does the Node.js ecosystem have a standard framework everyone prefers to use? In PHP we have Laravel, where most things are already taken care of you. Now with Node.js, I used to work on projects using Express, Babel, db-migrate for migrations, Bookshelf/Knex for database connections.. While all of this works, it feels like way too often you have to come up with a solution yourself. And don't get me started on authentication: I can develop an authentication routine using bcrypt, but there's always a chance I forgot a small detail, resulting in big security flaws. In contrast, Laraval has make:auth, which results in code of which I can be certain has been thoroughly tested.I did check out AdonisJS, and while parts of it remind me of Laravel, I wasn't sure how mature it was.So, what do you like to use? AdonisJS? Hackathon-starter? Your own base setup you use in every project?
