I haven't used Yii2 yet so my comment was sort of snarky :-)
Yii does have a lot of packages out of the box that are really nice that we don't have.
Laravel finally decided to have a LTS which helps the almost 6 month release syndrome.
I'm gonna say that laravel's greatest advantages are constant development (I didn't want to wait for yii2) and its ability to work for you instead of you having to work in a laravel fashion. You can bring almost any design pattern to it and will work. Another thing to consider is that it's really symphony inspired and has taken advantage of what symfony has done of the years.
Both communities are great!
Both frameworks are really good.
I'd say though, that a framework has to match you and your style so it might not be the best for you.
I like laravel because I keep becoming a better programmer as a whole. My coding style, my organization, the way I keep my functionality separated. Also, because it seems to be at the moment the Rails hipster go to framework, I'm introduced to lots of new concepts and design patterns.
But, once again, a framework is to help you and you should be able to work faster because of it.
I haven't used laravel. I have used Yii in a large project and is satisfied. It has extensive support for jQuery and ajax which really reduces our job. Its performance is also good.

I'm glad that you like Yii!
Laravel isn't tied to any js framework. Bring your own. The framework does support what you need for Ajax, serialization and what not.
Performance is a relative ..
