Like thinking Intelissense is a language feature for instance, or trying to shoehorn an inherently web language into general purpose and complaining (it's doable, everybody does it but you have to accept it was not meant to).

Sorry if it came off that way, I'll reword that part of the article as it seems to be misinterpreted. I understand that intellisense is a feature of an IDE, and not the language. I use netbeans with PHP, and it does have auto-complete. What I meant was that the code format used in C# was easier to use(maybe I am just used to it) than PHP's style.

I initially wrote the app in C#ASP.NET(2.0) but had trouble getting it to work well on the server with mono(problems with GDI), so I switched to PHP and used it as a learning experience. Perhaps I should have used a more general purpose language, but at the time I was unaware of the limitations of PHP.
