I am *not* speaking against it, not strongly or or otherwise. I'm really
not :)
As a matter of fact, some parts in the Zend Engine 2 are going to address
issues that Andrei (that wrote the PHP-GTK module). I think that the
ability to develop GUI apps using PHP is very cool, and I'm pretty sure
that PHP developers who need to develop simple (as in control-based) GUI's
are very likely to do it in PHP-GTK, which is good.
What I *am* saying is that GUI apps are not PHP's main strength, and thus,
should not be its main focus. If we try to push and market PHP, we should
pick reasonable objectives - and pushing it as a platform is much more
attainable than as a good-for-everything language. This objective is quite
ambitious on its own.
