Can people elaborate why PHP4 is their only option. Trying to get the big picture. :-)
Sure. PHP5 gives no good reason to upgrade so far. I do believe that a developer might like version 5 more than 4 for various reasons, but before there are some PHP5-only killer apps I won't go that route. You can jump on that train and become one of the first now, obviously, but I don't think that it's a good idea. The comparison with apache2 was great as well. I won't upgrade my 1.3 versions anytime soon, since I need not a single feature of 2.0 and like the stability of my current machines. Why should I create unnecessary work?
