Oh I'm sorry where did I say windows was a pro os?
Sums up my response, it's plug and play.
Those "3 worst things" happen to be some of the most popular things, you're foolish to say that. Thousands upon thousands of jobs for those knowledgeable in those. To knock them all aside because you're a hipster and believe ruby and Ubuntu are next gen sit the fucked down. Ruby isn't friendly enough yet to be commercially used, and will remain a specialty for some time. Ubuntu is loaded with gnome among other packages that do nothing for your server. Ubuntu is for hipsters who download it to look cool and different from their friends. At least everyone I've met, might be because I use ssh for most everything.

I can’t even say what’s wrong with PHP, because— okay. Imagine you have uh, a toolbox. A set of tools. Looks okay, standard stuff in there.
You pull out a screwdriver, and you see it’s one of those weird tri-headed things. Okay, well, that’s not very useful to you, but you guess it comes in handy sometimes.
You pull out the hammer, but to your dismay, it has the claw part on both sides. Still serviceable though, I mean, you can hit nails with the middle of the head holding it sideways.
You pull out the pliers, but they don’t have those serrated surfaces; it’s flat and smooth. That’s less useful, but it still turns bolts well enough, so whatever.
And on you go. Everything in the box is kind of weird and quirky, but maybe not enough to make it completely worthless. And there’s no clear problem with the set as a whole; it still has all the tools.
Now imagine you meet millions of carpenters using this toolbox who tell you “well hey what’s the problem with these tools? They’re all I’ve ever used and they work fine!” And the carpenters show you the houses they’ve built, where every room is a pentagon and the roof is upside-down. And you knock on the front door and it just collapses inwards and they all yell at you for breaking their door.
That’s what’s wrong with PHP.

ubuntu server. Also I use mint (based on ubuntu), does that make me hipster too?
Also maybe if you ran something else than "port forwarded website on xampp", you would know why base system is meaningless choice

*AMP stack is still the best thing out right now.
A challenger appears: NP*: nginx + postgresql + scala, nginx + postgresql + ruby, nginx + postgresql + python, nginx + postgresql + .... anything. Sometimes you also want another database for different features, eg. solr, sphinx for searching, *nosql for fast schema-less document storage etc.

php is by far still the most superior web language. has the most support, most people coding it(so finding help is easy), most frameworks, and is still scalable.
- superior how? Let me remind you of how they decided on namespace separator. Which appeared what, last year?
- php coders are among the worst coders on the planet, and even php docs are full of crappy code reinventing things that are already in language
- php frameworks are a joke compared to eg. ror. Say, how do you rebuild table schema in your php app if you decided you need another table? How do they support BDD?
- easiest to learn?
do you remember from top of your head order of parameters in all the *haystack, *needle functions?
- php has no backing
there is only zend framework that is supported ... if you pay
- what do you mean by scalability? What kind of that php offers? Are you telling me you can easily run website on 50 servers and have no problems with sessions? (except for pinning cookies on the load balancer
but what if one of server gets borked and others need to take over)
- almost every web hosting service can host php/mysql - are we talking professional or "my first blog about my training wheels"?
