I've had similar experiences with Ruby - I used Sinatra to write a really simple REST API, and while getting the core stuff working was relatively simple, there were many times towards the end when I wished I'd just written it in PHP. Oh, and don't even get me started on deployment.

I think we should get started on deployment considering how often it's swept under the rug as something that the "lowly sysadmins" have to deal with.

PHP deployment gets really painful at decent scales. The process model is very poor leading to both high memory usage and high server load.

    Because basically the interpreter starts from square one on each request. While some things can be held over (e.g. db pconnects) it's far from ideal.
