Is php worth it?

I have heard the same argument before. I have coded in RoR and honestly it's a lot of hype. You can do everything that Ruby can do with PHP. They'll argue until they're blue in the face that Ruby language is so much better than PHP, etc. but.... who cares? The user doesn't care if your website is made with RoR or PHP (or even Perl!).

The best thing that you can do is to pick something and just stick with it unless there's a super compelling reason not to. You could totally make any website you wanted with cgi/perl if you wanted to (it'd be really difficult but you could).

The thing is that you'll waste time if you listen to too many opinions. Pick one, go with it and just bash through until you get to your destination.

My 2 cents.
