By clicking yes you are failing the Windows Darwin Test.' Nearly half of them said all they cared about was getting rid of these dialogs."

I was thinking exactly along the same lines for about four years, happily using PHP for the web, and Perl for the command line.

Then I discovered the world of mod_perl and Perl web development tools. Boy, I was blown away by availability of rich, well-tested and well-documented solutions to the problems that you have to fight with with PHP all the time. I started with PHP, I loved PHP, but now I can say that good PHP programmer's productivity on medium to large apps is about 1/3 - 1/2 of the same of mod_perl programmer, all other things being equal.
