I'll repost my comment here:
"With PHP, never mind the lack of step-through debugging, if you want to do any kind of debugging you have to litter your code with tons of print statements to have any shot of catching the bug. Ugly."
Um....WRONG. There are many, many step through debuggers out there for PHP. Netbeans, for example, has extremely good (and free) step through debugging, along with many more features that are at least on par with what Visual Studio gives you.
If your intent is to give accurate and honest information, you should probably research your topic a bit. However, given the overall tone of the article, I'll wager honesty and accuracy were never really high on your list.
- MichaelApproved 17y agoI updated the article based on your feedback. In the past when I've used PHP it was really frustrating trying to track down bugs. Looking again I see there some good possibilities out there. I'll checkout Netbeans and experiment with other IDEs again. I'm surprised you think that the tone of my article meant I wasn't trying to be honest or accurate. I'm here engaging the discussion and accepting criticism. When I saw the feedback I felt terrible for not having that information before I posted and immediately made the update.
- rufugee 17y agoI appreciate the retraction. Your article, whether you intended it to or not, sounds as if you're just a little too over-to-top in love with Microsoft's technologies. That, combined with the misinformation you've now made an effort to correct, led me to the assume you were yet another Microsoft shill. If this is incorrect, I apologize.
- MichaelApproved 17y agoI am in love with some Microsoft technologies and I hate some others. Their coding products helped me build so many websites and have been pretty reliable. I've tried using some other languages/databases and they haven't worked out as well for me. For me the enterprise stuff is great, it's their consumer products that leave much to be desired...
