Lots of opinions but little facts in the comment. I'd love to see an experiment with people using that and their preferred web stack. Is this really slower to develop? By how much? Is this really unsecure? Is this really simpler, faster?

I’d wager a good portion of my salary that a skilled BCHS developer is slower than a skilled Django/RoR developer to build a usual web app (with auth, payment gateways, admin panels, etc). Not to say BCHS doesn’t look like a laugh to use.
I would too, but I'd like some hard data on this. For example, how much slower? 2 times? 10 times? 100 times? Is this an initial cost or a cost paid on all features? Is maintenance easier? Harder?
