- PHP is easy to understand for a newbie. Thanks to that many people that have never been in programming can make real their ideas, and thanks to this you have a lot of services on internet.
- PHP is getting better everyday and have one of the largest pools of users in the world.
- Often i heard people talk about how many bugs have, but the reality is that you cannot use only the numbers of bugs as a reference. Other less buggy languages are not. They have not been tested enough to find all the hidden bugs, because the amount of applications that use them is lower.
- PHP is open source and does not deppend on a corporate that one day can disappear (don´t believe me? Remember Lehman Brothers)
Using a common comparison: Compare a car with a jet. Jet can travel faster, further, but requires a lot of knowledge. Car is simple. Only a steering wheel a few pedals and anyone can learn. ¿Which of them has helped more to the history?
