About a year and a half ago, I had to make a decision on which platform to build my personal projects on. At the time, I had a pretty deep knowledge of .NET, a decent knowledge of Java, and a very minimal knowledge of PHP. I immediately threw Java out the window because of my horrible experiences trying to build large Java projects at University and at my 9-5. I then did POCs of both .NET and PHP. I really liked .NET but hosting was more expensive. PHP was a bit awkward at first, but after a couple weeks I grew to love it. So, I decided to go with PHP as my platform of choice. After a year and a half, I couldn’t be more happy about the decision. I have not run into any platform limitations and best of all, I no longer have to compile. Removing this restriction has really sped up my workflow and removed a completely unnecessary distraction. If I had the choice, I would not ever go back to compiled development environments.
