I understand that the reverse is true. I don't like it. but I can see that people LOVE it. that people are TERRIFIED of it. I argued about PHP back in the day, too, but nobody I disagreed with about PHP ever tried to tell me that it was a god and that I should liquidate my entire net worth to invest in PHP. a lot of people just absolutely cannot be normal about it. this intensity of feeling is unprecedented
