besides haystack, needle vs needle, haystack, what do you view as so bad about PHP's standard library? The main critique I've heard is that it's so big, but it's hard to see that as a downside unless you're a maintainer of the language itself. To me it's great to have all this stuff built in, you very rarely need to add in dependencies, and besides fewer dependencies being better in general, it also means you can get started faster, you don't have to spend so much time figuring out what's the popular library for solving x, and is it still maintained, and was it built with a bunch of other weird dependencies? You just search the docs, find what you need, make note of what you need, issues, examples, etc., and you're off to the races.
