No, you got it all wrong. It's not "dependency hell", it's "server-side programming".

Oh, how can I say. First, please recognize the context. If we distribute wikipedia server to hunders of mimi-server, it is necessary to make easy to set up. But if we don't, the dependency really doesn't matter the

We're supposed to use whatever we find convenient on server-

side.

That's the paradigm on this side of network connection.

Gentelly notice the debate should be based on the reasoning not simple assumptions.

These dependencies aren't really that weird - Apache, PHP

and MySQL

I don't think these dependencies are weired neither.

As for windows servers, it doesn't really matter. They are rather small minority, and have so many problems that supporting them is not really worth effort. Just get some Unix.

Again, if you distribute, the number of windows servers does matter. But again the context depends.
