Great input, Aschwin! I've but recently opened my eyes to the collective effort that is PHP. Compared to Java or .NET it doesn't have a huge corporation backing it or taking the lead. We'll see what the recently announced foundation (a JetBrains initiative) can do to support the development of PHP, but I imagine it would be very difficult (impossible?) for it to compete on enterprise level performance and security with Java or C#/.NET.
