And I'd still rather use half of those
instead of PHP.

what's wrong with PHP compared to the horror of ASP?

At least ASP isn't used all that much these days -
not that ASP is a language in any case (my web host offers ASP but the only language available is Perl for that matter).
PHP is just... weird. Why does $x = $y copy by value in PHP 4 but copy by reference in PHP 5? If $a = 0 and $b = 'hello' then $a == false and $b == true but also $a == $b (but $a !== $b). Why is html_entity_decode the inverse function of htmlentities? Why do $needle and $haystack swap positions in every other function? The less said about magic_quotes_gpc and register_globals - and hosts that switch these on and don't let you switch them off - the better.
At least the above esoteric languages are weird by design. ;-)
