Demand is rising, insanely. I left an NT Systems programming position for
a PHP position. Not every company develops software, but almost every
company can benefit from a website/presence.
Most "large organizations" like turnkey solutions from large "notable"
companies.
This is one of ASPs strongest points. However, as PHP grows, people will
notice.
Open Source ANYTHING still has a ways to go, but it's getting there.
