Sometimes it's hard for me to grasp the idea that most people just use 
whatever is sitting on the shelf and would never consider the idea of 
building something else; usually it's at least as difficult for them to 
grasp the idea that for me applications are not half as interesting as 
the tools that enable them.  See, I don't *care* what's available this 
week for writing standalone apps under PHP, what I mostly care about is 
what the underlying operating system will support reliably and what the 
PHP language itself is capable of.

The original post didn't ask for someone to help a poor weenie build 
desktop applications in PHP, it asked who else is writing Linux or 
cross-system applications in PHP, with perhaps some hope of finding out 
where they're discussing it.

So far the answer is "no, we're using stuff we think is easier" with the 
possibility that M. Strobel is also engaged in this bizarre activity 
(though he didn't say yea or nay but commented on its applicability).
