You blame the tool maker just because you don't know how to use that
tool?

Yes, you might blame the PHP team for not enabling notices by default,
but that's it. If you're serious about PHP programming and web
programming in general, then you should also be able to adjust the
server configuration as required.

There are even some options that should be tweaked in a .htaccess file
(or httpd.conf if possible). Would you blame the Apache Foundation for
not doing so by default?
