If you're a PHP guy you might want to stick with OSC, but even then I
would encourage you to switch to IC.  I have to admit I've never
delved into OSC and I don't know PHP (IC is a perl app), but now that
I've got it under my belt I feel like I have a huge leg up on every
non-IC website out there.

IC is really just another layer between the code and the developer,
but it seems like if someone was building websites in, say: Perl,
HTML, and MySQL for a while, eventually they would want to write tools
(and a daemon) for the things they are doing over and over again so
they can save themselves time, produce highly readable code, and have
a really dynamic system in place.  IC is like that, but with a bunch
of different people developing it over about 10 years.  It's still
being very actively developed.

Of course it's open-source, but I feel like I have 100% control over
every aspect of what I produce, and I have never had to modify the
core source files.
