  I don't really get why people hate it so much, sure it has it's flaws, but it also has it's strengths.

    Some people also hate Obamacare, civil liberties and human rights. Who knows why?

    Its strengths are few and equivocal; its flaws are unspeakable and legion.
    • krapp 13y ago
      Its flaws clearly aren't unspeakable because if they were so many people wouldn't keep droning on about them.

        Excuse my imprecision; I should've said 'undeniable', although no doubt that would've invited more caviling than what I did say.

    I only get the PHP hate from the startup communities. I guess it is just not hip to be using PHP. There is also way to much love for Apple products. In the end the tools you use don't matter. I never heard an investor say: 'Did you write this in PHP on a PC? I'm sorry we are not interested.'

    PHP's only real strength is it's ubiquity.

      Like hmmm... Java and Javascript?
      • Pitarou 13y ago
        Next to PHP, Java and Javascript are beacons of pristine language design.
