Comment On PHP, religion, and why I'm always right. (Score 1) 519
The reason I dislike PHP is because it has a bunch of bizarre patched together conventions that don't make sense to me. But if they make sense to you and you're absolutely sure that your code is safe and maintainable, then it's the best framework for you. Someone mentioned asking this is like asking about religion and they're right. Since you asked, I'll point out the advantages I see with two frameworks I'm using today:
1. Google App Engine: super easy to get started and have something running. Lowest amount of code / task of any framework I've used.
2. ASP.NET MVC 3: clean separation of concerns that uses reflection and dependency injection (so there's very little configuration required). Lots of support on stackoverflow and asp.net/mvc.
Both of those are great for me mostly because I like and respect HTML/HTTP and want full control over some aspects of the request/response paradigm when I need to do fancier things like domain based routing. Both frameworks allow me to dive deep without complicating themselves too much. And I like C# 4.0 & Python 2.7, both are very pleasant to work with.
