PHP5 Vs. CakePHP Vs. RubyOnRails?

Posted by kdawson on from the please-choose-one dept.

OldJavaHack writes "If you could start a website (with MySQL for persistence) from scratch and you had a choice of PHP5, CakePHP, or RubyOnRails — which would you choose and why? Things to consider in your decision: 1. Maturity of solution; 2. Features; 3. Size of community of skilled users (to build a team); 4. Complexity/ease of use (for neophytes to master); 5. Greatest strength of your choice, and the greatest weaknesses of the other two. Here is a comparison of capabilities."

    Seriously. This looks a lot like those "help me do my homework!!11@1!" posts you see on Usenet a lot. Perhaps the original author is doing it for a job, or looking for arguments to win an internet shitfight on some obscure forum. It doesn't matter, he should do his own damn work.

    promote the "my X is better than yours"

    Yea, because the whole set-up was flawed from the start - using MySQL when PostgreSQL is better.
