I'm not convinced. (Score 1)

You can make numbers to look almost exactly the way you want, depending on where you look, how you compare and the like. Seeing the comparison of Java / .NET with LAMP (which IMHO is ridiculous) makes it hard to be serious about the whole article. To me, this is all a mess-up of different things that don't really fit together well. What are we talking about? Building dynamic web sites? Creating small CRUD applications to hammer stuff into an SQL database using a web frontend? Building applications distributed across platforms and systems within both an internal network and "the internet" and yet being meant to interact and communicate? There are numbers and percentages written all across the article but the writes doesn't get clear about some basic assumptions. Otherwise, I'd like him to build a system to link CORBA, SOAP and possibly a bunch of other technologies using PHP, Perl, Python (even though I love the latter ones). Good luck.
