Is it only me that hates people that thrash php because they prefer to use C# or Java?
I was having this discussion with two colleagues at work and it really irritated me how they dismissed php, just because of it not having Visual Studio as it's main ide. One of them also remarked that besides java being faster nobody uses php for security, saying that no bank site or big web shop site uses php.
This really really irritates me.
For the ide part I know that Zend studio and PhPed are really good ide's.
And I don't see any thing on the web saying that java or c# are faster than php.
Does anyone know any bank sites or big e-commerce sites that use php? Just so that I can't tell them that php is still used in many places, just because they don't know about it doesn't mean there aren't sites that use php.
