I had to post a link to this. It’s basically another of the PHP sucks rants. This one is actually very well written. (I did not infact know about the memory leak cause by returning references in 4.4).

Here’s the real reason I posted it though:

You have found the ideal framework or base for your software and it’s written in PHP

This website runs on WordPress. It has by far the best UI of any weblogging application. It also means that I have to navigate around all the problems I mentioned in this document. My guess is that in the long run that will take more time than not using a PHP based weblogging application, but for now, I just wait for PyBloxsom to catch up.

I think this is really a testament to how great WordPress is. I have met a number of PHP-haters who run WordPress (Hi Corey). That to me is ultimate validation. Sure if you get under the skin it can get ugly - but are far as using it goes - it’s been smooth sailing.
