There are bad coders in ever language/platform....and coupled with that, we all have days when we write bad code. The size of the community has very little to do with it I think.

#12Will $framework be the new $language?
Fairly apple and pears comparison and somewhat pointless.

#13Everybody knows that PHP is infected with bad programmers 'cause is an easy to run language. You have a mac? Just make a .php and you can kill some baby seals with you lame code.
You are making yourself sound like a Rails fanboy with little to no real knowledge of PHP.

OS X comes with Ruby and Python preinstalled as well.
Re: Will Rails be the new PHP
#15I think this article makes a really really bad comparison. With both Ruby and PHP, there are many ways to write something terrible (especially with Ruby's more than one way to do one thing Perl philosophy). However with Rails being an opinionated framework, there is typically one really publicized opinionated way to do one thing (ala Python style). With the opinion coming from good developers, I don't see quality going down anytime soon if newbies just follow it. To add to this, a lot of good ruby coders tend to do educational blog posts, which really helps out the community. Compared to the other language communities I've experienced (python, java, perl, and php), I think Ruby does the best on the education front. For now, it's what gives the language its edge.

#16The follow ups and updates and TL;DR are beginning to rival the article in word count.
I'm not sure what this is a sign of, but I find it hilarious.

PHP is somewhat unusual in the extent to which things normally reserved for frameworks are included in the language. For example, PHP comes with a template language. It isn't so unreasonable to compare these facilities to analogous ones provided by frameworks.

I'm a PHP developer (damn, this sounds like I only use PHP, but it's my favorite one). I really like PHP, it's easy to learn, easy to deploy, probably one of the most documented language. But let's be honest, all this easy stuff brings people with poor or no knowledge. Probably if ruby or python were easy as PHP to deploy, we probably would see lame ruby and python code too

#20Earlier quoted context omitted.
really, do we have to beat this horse to death every single time?
seems that everytime that there is a comparison between Ruby and PHP, it turns to a personal fight
I agree, but I really meant that there's no need for a link to Betteridge's Law in every single post involving a question mark, it is tiresome.
