Sorry i will have to stand up with Diki here, i've been programming in .NET, PHP, games in Actionscript 3 and over the last year Python and Javascript (NodeJS, meteor blabla)...
I've worked a lot with PHP and i'm amazed of how this language got so far being on so low performance and making hard a lot of things that are solved within other languages long time ago, the fact of having a php.ini handling massive amounts of server configuration makes me want to die (if you run 2 applications you have to pare them with ini_get)
NO FREAKING ROUTING, your app looks exactly like your file system folder, mod_rewrite and .htaccess IS NOT an acceptable subsitute.
No decent deploy, just copy this files here to the server and on and on.....
here you have the mother of PHP rants, please take it from me i also loved developing PHP, is easy but if you are slightly experienced move away from it.
Go through this post, and link people to it, you cannot deny the flaws that PHP has, if you've been developing only in PHP you have no idea in which sucky world you are living.
Then be happy with CherryPy or with Flask, if you're on Windows i know it's not as setting up WAMP, or on MAC OSX as setting up MAMP or setting Apache within Linux, but setting up the server running the app by running a command is the normal thing with NodeJS and with Python and with Meteor aswell, and man... developing is so much nicer and ordered.. and faster...
