And as usual it'll end up with the same old list of reasonable problems, 'unforgivable' omissions and miles upon miles of ridiculous hyperbole. It's started already. Is abuse of includes or goto an inherent problem of PHP? I was abusing includes 15 years ago when I messed with C and my earliest BASIC was the code equivalent of snakes & ladders.

All this kind of thing tends to do is embolden the snobs, put the backs up of the faithful and be of no practical use to any reasonable person looking for honest answers. It doesn't even have the virtue of being a humourous discussion since it's been flogged to death over the whole internet for a decade.
