I have to agree - these tools could be very useful in getting to grips with a bunch of code that's been written by someone else.
However, if you're writing the app yourself, sloppy code (concatenating queries on the fly, ignoring functions such as mysql_real_escape_string(), etc.) and not validating user input are your main concerns. PHP is not the problem if used correctly!
I think for many of us who grew up with Nintendo and now, you know, have jobs and partners and all, the apparent game drought is mostly meaningless. I've barely had time to scrape the surface of Zelda and have played maybe 20% of Wario Ware and Raving Rabbids - all great games that make great use of the Wiimote. The magic is still very much there for me - and that's before I even get started on the VC...

Good point - I've never imported a DS game either. I guess it's just the principle of the thing...
