I wouldn't want to go back to programming PHP due to its many issues[1]. I especially wouldn't want to work somewhere that spends development energy on BobX[2] to make PHP easier to work with. That means I have to use two technologies that won't give me any way to advance in the industry, and will most likely hinder me at this point.

People really need to stop posting that fractal article. Any PHP dev worth their salt would be able to tell you that guy clearly has no major experience with PHP (or any understanding of OOP for that matter).

Here's a few discussions on just how wrong [1] and clueless he really is [2].
