Always the same "argument" (because there is no other): "mumumu, lot of people use it so it's good"

Okay, what's the quality of your argument then? I don't have a nice Latin proverb to characterize it, but maybe "baseless claims" will do. I didn't say that I like PHP because "people" are using it or "everybody" is using it, it's because I'm using it productively myself and because I'm getting stuff done with it ... couldn't care less really about all of these language/stack/platform "mine is better than yours" wars.
