Yeah I agree, people tend to diss products based on either old info, old 
versions, or just bad initial info (did it myself to PHP when came to 
crossroads of PHP vs. JSP about a year ago) ... Id also like to hear 
what MySQL's problems are as my days of taking time to dabble with 
Oracle or Sybase are over :-)  

I also can't see how one can find a definitive answer for scaling when 
1/2 the equation is based on how much money you put into scaling anyway, 
better equipment and more memory will always help any platform 
(PHP/J2EE/.Net) ...
