Does that mean they would not write better apps in the same time if they
were so smart using better languages and actual frameworks? Do we really
need so many flawed PHP products regulary appear on bugtraq for the
same reasons every time? (Since the many programmers there just copy and
paste their code to get their results fast - hey thats smart in some
sense)
