I consider project is complex when it has many layers, have special performance requirements, contains hundreds of components, have a lot people involved in it.

I consider compilation and strong typization are very important in development because they help to avoid some basic typo-mistakes. 2. .NET provides a lot of functionality still not implemented in PHP. I especially interested in i18n and l10n of the applications. Formatting, encodings, locales, etc. ZF has all these now, but not in .NET contains such functionality just from the beginning. 3. One standard IDE for all developers. 4. More tools for code analyzing because of strong typization.
