The Perfect Tech Stack

The problem with PHP is recruitment. No career focused developer is going to want to put on their resume that they did PHP.

I saw it happen first hand. I was in a department with 13 developers. We had one product written in PHP, but we were all hired to work on C# and maybe do a little PHP maintenance. Once the writing was on the wall that we would all be transitioning to PHP maintenance, we all left with 6 months.
