Discussion on: Do developers still use PHP?

I completely agree, the main driver for a lot of the decisions in a team is a split of cost/effectiveness against team skill/knowledge/expertise. You need to make sure most of all that what your building is the best you can do, even if it isn't the perfect way, it's better than using tech you don't know in a language you have a basic understanding of.

RE: respectful conversation: no need to thank me, it's what we should all be trying to do! Yes we all see a long of comments and conversations saying PHP is dead or isn't very good etc etc; but instead of jumping the gun and going on the defensive, it's easier and better to try to educate people on your experience with X language or framework. Also, respect costs nothing

Thank you so much for your posts here Steve! You mentioned several topics which I have no knowledge about yet, and described them honestly, openly and respectfully (something which we need more and more nowadays).
Truly appreciate your comments.
