One thing I would like to see (maybe in Laravel 6) is just using regular path syntax for views.
The whole dot syntax thing has always felt to me like it's just trying to look object oriented for the sake of it. It's using a JS style in PHP, with no actual benefits, just making it feel more complex than it should be, when we're simply referencing files.
Using /path/to/absolute or ../path/to/relative would make it obvious, reduce one level of abstraction, and make refactoring easier.
