I completely agree. I personally think that the slow adoption rate is
unacceptable. I think people are just being lazy. PHP five was
released in 2004 and will no longer be supported at the end of this
year. People need to pony and and just update their code. It's really
frustrating, personally.
I think lots of folks see all the work to move from PHP 4 to 5 and say,
"Hey, if I'm going to have to re-write half of my web application to
support PHP 5, I may as well move to another language that won't do that
to me later." The low adoption rate could be due to the fact that
projects are simply not adopting PHP 5 at all, but rather jumping ship
entirely.
Just a possibility.
Having ported a 40,000 line app to PHP 5, and trying to still support
PHP 4 at the same time, I can say it's painful. Not
bash-your-teeth-out-with-a-rusty-iron-skillet painful, but painful. :)
