Heh. Yeah interesting story, and I agree that in this case it's better not to add it. > Damn PHP script kiddies :) I bet they were cheaper than you are ;) > I know for a fact that unless they use a decent PHP > component-based framework (Prado?) with good AJAX support, they are going to > have problems implementing a lot of the features that took me less than a > day to do in wicket.

Being able to develop quickly is nice, and sometimes you need an edge there, but the maintenance phase is where the real costs are. PHP isn't particularly encouraging to write maintainable code.
