> Unless you've a solid proof, this is just.. blatant lie. How did you measure the security and quality? Was it "ok, this seems nice" or was it literally reading the code, running the tests and hitting the lib with a pentest suite?
Yes. Additionally features of .NET binaries such as signing tends to be a bit more favorable to me.
> Stating that libraries which contain more than 1 class per file are more secure and robust is just a nice wish, but nothing more than that. It's simply not true to the point it's funny :)
That's not what I was stating. I was stating that 1 per file is common in .NET land and I personally believe that it leads to more organized code.
> You've PHPStorm and there's VSCode. PHPStorm is better. It works almost flawlessly. What's an IDE got to do with environment? Why are they a hack?
VS Code isn't an IDE, really. It's a text editor with extensions. I was speaking more to the fact that setting up a proper development environment with PHP is a chore. If you're using an *AMP, you've got one shared environment across all your development projects. Things like debugging two PHP projects at once can't happen. Edge case stuff sure. Using vagrant or another VM solution is a super heavy way to accomplish something that should be simple. Using Docker is nice, but has its own pitfalls. I agree PhpStorm is fantastic. It's always been one of my favorite tools. A bunch of its editing features are leagues ahead of VS. Unfortunately, it's not a complete solution to a dev environment. And yeah, I'm aware you can launch `php` directly from PhpStorm. I usually find that to be a nightmare in its own way.
Again, I started as a PHP dev and it holds a certain place in my heart. I'm not sure I could ever find an instance to use it over any other platform, though.
Also, you should try to give .NET Core a try. It's a pretty fantastic platform. Like PHP, I would never choose to start a project with .NET Framework.
