I could have said "come to live with" instead. It works, it let's me do my job. PHP provides me with a good living (I primarily build boring CRUD apps, also using Python and Ruby).

I think part of PHP's popularity is that it offers a good balance throughout a product lifecycle - prototyping (because of the number of libraries), production (because it runs on anything), maintenance (because it's stable and easy to hire for).

The best analogy I can give is like someone selling me a car. Right now, I'm driving a 20 year old Ford because I'm more interested in saving money than going quickly. If somebody wants me to get a new car, they need to show how I'm going to save money, not just how quick the other car is.

I guess 'Slash' could do that, but right now the copy is not focusing on the difficulties I have with PHP.

Yeah I thought you meant that. I did too :) But I just hoped you had some divine insight everyone missed here. Shame :)
