"It's interesting that the author grouped Ruby, Python and Node with frameworks for his comparison to PHP sans framework." Mainly because people rarely talk about pure Ruby/Python/Node CGI development. They're almost always run through an app server. I realise there are indeed some excellent PHP frameworks nowadays, but to my knowledge, most can still be run in a basic CGI environment. And more to the point, probably the majority of quick hacks in PHP are still done without any framework. [BTW I meant Meteor, not Metro.]
