Different people will end up enjoying different tools. I started web development with Ruby and Rails, but find that I really enjoy PHP. Then again, I don't have to maintain anyone else's crappy code. I find that when I write clean, well tested PHP, it really isn't frustrating or painful.
If you prefer something else, that's great! Use it. I guess these types of debates aren't exactly unique to this industry though. When I used to lurk around automotive message boards when I was younger, I recall some pretty epic flamewars among Chevy/Dodge/Ford/etc. fans. Everyone loved their favourite, and were certain that the others were clunky pieces of crap. Sounds a lot like programming language flamewars... :)
- bitwize 15y agoI really love that they used that famous photo of Andrew "Alynna \"Pookie\" Trypnotk" Beaudoin for the C as seen by PHP fanboys cell of the table. Oddly enough, that man's programming preferences are even more hilarious: he likes to do his web development in the scripting language for his favorite furry MUCK. I'm not even kidding; he bolted it onto a Web server somehow and actually did paid contract work in this language. And since he was the only one who knew how to use it, it meant job security. Up to a point. After he got fired, he was also the only one who knew about the back door he snuck into their MUCK-based application server. Mofo was Dennis Nedry in a dirty fox fursuit. Or not, as the picture shows.
- chaostheory 15y agoI agree. Like religion, unless someone tries to force it on me I tend not to care as much.
