Re: Why use PHP? What are the disadvantages?

[Nathan Andelin <nandelin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, JavaScript generation is just a minor auxiliary that most people never pay any attention to. But Dreamweaver is the best tool we've found for "writing", "editing", and "managing" HTML, CSS, and JavaScript projects in an integrated & consistent manner.

I don't want to get off topic, either.

It seems that one trap that PHP developers may fall into might be called the "Facebook syndrome", where the applications become robust enough and popular enough, that you begin looking for ways to get them to perform & scale better, after the fact.  In the case of Facebook, that led them to transform the code to C.

Not to get off-topic, but the JavaScript code that DreamWeaver generated
the last time I used it was horrendous.  It would be a huge headache to
maintain.
