Five years ago, I decided I was never going to touch PHP ever again.

I have been much happier professionally since that day.

Except in a case when we want to build an e-commerce website for client. PHP has so many mature frameworks, like Magento/WooCommerce etc. I look at Python ecosystem. Yeah, we have Oscar and Saleor but they are pale compared to their PHP cousin.

But other than e-commerce, yes, Django or even Rails is my preferred choice.

If you ha w to work with Magento just go ahead and sign your sanity over to Cthulhu. That’s what finally drove me over the edge.

And both probably beat out Node.js
