Now, can you specifically contrast PHP against, say, Python, and explain why PHP is a better "web development platform"?
I think I have explained that in the first post. That is in general, for individual tasks like system interactions, parsing, some network programming i use python. As I am building custom solutions, I don't have much use of py web frameworks. And usual tasks are much faster done in PHP than in python.

How many other tools, apart from PHP, did you properly try?
I use C#, Java(EE), Python, AS3, PHP, MySQL, Linux on all my projects. It just happens that each of them for me has it good purpose for specific tasks. I use technology by its benefits(performance and interoperability) and speed of development not by plain preference (like I know that and I stick to it).
