I would use PHP over asp.net any day.
I still have to maintain some ASP sites. I think one of them has
finally seen the light of day and is going to pay for a complete
makeover - in PHP (the external "look and feel" will change, also). And
then they won't be restricted to running on Windows and IIS.
And Java is a great language, but very overblown for simple
applications. It has a lot of strengths and can easily do more complex
things like running java beans on other servers. However, most websites
don't need these advanced features, so you get more overhead than with
PHP and things run more slowly.
And if PHP were "just for hobbiests", why are there so many big hosting
companies offering PHP, and so many sites using PHP (including some
major companies)? And why are there so few (in comparison) hosting
companies who provide Java? And of course only Windows hosts provide
ASP of any variety.
