It's easier to code and deploy using PHP than Python for web-app.

It's easier to code and deply GUI app in VB (and .NET environment).

For a beginner to start coding web-app in Python would be like a non-geek trying out Linux with just command-line.

Then don't do web-apps. There's nothing wrong with starting doing GUI apps with PyGame or something

It's even easier to get started with JavaScript.
