Shall we get out our dueling authorities?  AOL thinks
AOLserver is ideal for database-backed Web pages.  NATO,
Viacom, and the AARP use Zope.  IMDB uses mod_perl.  And
so on.  It's more than I can handle to believe that all
of these developments were tedious and difficult, and
would all have been easy and quick if only switched to
PHP.
