In addition to this I know some people who originally used (or at least tried to use) Microsoft ASP. When it didn't work out for them, for performance reasons, lack of documentation or whatever, they joined the hype and used Linux-Apache-Mysql-PHP instead and that did work out for them. PHP has self explaining commands and little more syntactic sugar than their beloved Visual Basic/ASP stuff, so they are happy in their point-and-click mentality. They just don't want to see something even better.
