Everyone here has made excellent points. I have a couple of suggestions to add.
In the end I would not listen to any article which claims that A is "in fast retreat" and B is "simple the best choice". Almost certainly the author has a limited (if at all) understanding of A, and is in love with B. Pmachine for instance is a PHP product, so clearly they are going to sing the praises of PHP, otherwise they would look kinda stupid :) As for the "loosing a big project to an ASP shop", I think this should tell you that you need to expand your skillset. The customer is always right (even when they are wrong). I once worked on a project where the customer dictated we use BEA WebLogic J2EE server with an Oracle database on Solaris to build their site with. The site consisted of several static pages (400+) a message board, and a registration page. (A classic example of using an Elephant gun to kill a flea) We could have done the whole thing with Perl/PHP, MySQL and Apache on Linux and saved them thousands of dollars in lisence fees, but they would hear none of it. I'll keep telling myself that Perl is for *real* web programmers, and everyone else is just jealous. Bah! Real web programmers use Postscript ;-)
