I'm a big believer in "make things as simple as possible but not simpler" with an emphasis on "but not simpler"

@wycats not to be bit picky but I think when we rubyists use less precision when talking about PHP we sound like uninformed trolls. :-) -
@eccegordo Wasn't comparing Rails to the universe of PHP. Just picking something too simple for apps (raw PHP) as an example of "no simpler" -
@wycats Understood. And the same thing could be said of just Ruby or JavaScript. I agree if your point is we need conventions and framework. -
@eccegordo yeah. I had a follow-up tweet that said I could have said "Sinatra" or "Backbone" too.

@nateberkopec@dhh that's a waaay overeager Godwin. I called (raw) PHP simple but missing stuff. Is that controversial?

@CodeFancier@dhh raw PHP may be good enough, but by being too simple for apps, you need far more work to build even run-of-the-mill apps -

@wycats@dhh well, http://laravel.com is a strong counterargument for that. -
