Agreed. The LAMP stack did not become ubiquitous because it had a cool name, but because it was cheap and easy to build on. The name 'LAMP' was just a 'backronym' for what was already very common. Trying to repeat the trick by coming up with another cool acronym is not a good idea. The problem with the LAMP stack is the idea that one stack is suitable for just about any purpose. So you get developers trying to build hugely complicated algorithms with 'if' and 'for' loops in PHP and turning MySQL into an object store with ORM. Better to use the right tool for the job, rather than the one all the cool kids are using today, or the one with the best sounding name.
