I provided two separate sources that provide data showing that PHP is *gaining* market share and continues to dominate over the competition, which directly contradicts the claim you made. Simply brushing this factual data as "wrong assumptions"-- without any data of your own to back-up that claim-- does not constitute a valid counter-argument, nor does introducing a non sequitur by comparing PHP to Internet Explorer. These aren't "assumptions", wrong or otherwise. This is data pulled from reliable sources. If you have separate data that calls it into question, then please share it with us. Otherwise, you're just making baseless and factually inaccurate claims about PHP to justify your argument about PHP-NG. As far as I can tell from the evidence available, your statement that "PHP is losing ground to its competitors" appears to be false. In fact, the exact opposite appears to be true. Again, that's not an assumption. That's just looking at the available data. --Kris
