One of the things I dislike about the current PHP development cycle is how quickly versions run out of support.
Make an app, when it's finished there's a new PHP version or maybe two newer versions. You now can't spend time upgrading because you have to move to the next thing. After a year a new PHP version is released, now the upgrade is more complicated, especially if you used third party components/frameworks so your manager decides you'll stay with that version until God knows when.
While I think this longer support is great in many cases we'll have to upgrade older code bases to newer versions.
But maybe that's good, I don't know. Maybe this forces companies to keep paying us to do stuff constantly.
