There are a couple of reasons but I can cite a few, I tried to push for PaaS and failed the hard way: 1. No widespread practice of environment provisioning automation. Today Docker and k8s are ubiquitous. Having a list of requirements your

They do something which is "common" in Apple-land (Dash for MacOS does this, a Twitter client did this as well, over and over): They get the same app, add some features, call it v2, launch as a new app and remove v1 from the s

I am not against your rant, your are 100% on point there, but maybe your code without framework has issues you don't know? I would rant against this forced and meaningless deprecations on Symfony-land but the main issue with PHP, IMH

PHP doesn't do a lot of BC-break. Proposing one and getting it accepted is very difficult (2/3 of +1 votes required). Most cases of BC breaks are based on security concerns. PHP didn't learn from Python 3 BC fiasco, its gover
