If you look at Microsoft, they force their customers every few years a major rewrite so the product remains sexy (if customers realize the cost of this is again another discussion).

I'm just not going to argue this, Paul. If you consider the above statement a feature rather than a bug, then we have a different perspective on the role of computers in business.

Related to your article... I'm afraight that we only fool ourselves, and omitting C# and Microsoft in it is not really realistic as they're killing us much faster (mainly based on marketing than acutal strengths) than Java or PHP alike tools.

Who omitted C#? TIOBE tracks C# just fine. It's just that I was talking about scripting languages, which C# most definitely is not. I most definitely did not want to write another Microsoft vs. IBM screed... we get enough of that on this list. ;)
