Ask HN: Why should I switch from php to django or rails?
Hey. I am a php programmer. I mostly work on a freelance/consultant basis. I use framework (Symfony or codeigniter) and ORM (doctrine). These tools are quite powerful, and what I have seen after a very brief look at rails, they provide pretty much every functionality (correct me if I am wrong).
Considering how much more easier it is to deploy php+mysql+apache applications, give me some good reasons why I should learn rails or django.
(One very obvious reason would be to take up jobs where the client wants me to work on rails or django. Let's ignore this point for now. Just consider that I get new projects and I am free to choose my platform/language)
