I happen to be using Laravel more these days at work and I 
thought Hunt looks quite similar. What I didn't quite like were:

1) Passing data to the view in hunt isn't as clean as Laravel's 
way of passing data to blade

2) Unlike eloquent (as used in Laravel), the database module of 
hunt felt too cumbersome to use... too much boilerplate.

3) setting up routes and config in hunt is  done with .ini file. 
Personally world prefer doing that in D code. In Laravel, its al 
done in PHP code.

4) Great web docs. That's one reason why I got up to speed with 
Laravel quickly. The docs is just soo good.

That's pretty much what comes to mind... simplicity, elegance and 
consistency. Newest version of Laravel is much more simplified so 
that should be a goal.
