This is quickly turning into a circle-jerk, I really haven't seen any new arguments for or against PHP in the past ~5 years.<p>Every article is just another op-ed from either a) the fan base, ever-proclaiming PHP's virtues, or b) the haters, ever-pointing out PHP's flaws. The 2 groups will never reconcile and so we're left with mountains of repetitive discourse that's as stale today as it was 5 years ago.<p>Just imagine if all of this time spent arguing were applied to a project (whether it be a PHP project or not)...
