Why don't you see .NET and Java as leading Internet Marketing tools?

I think the bottom line is free spirit.

In the software development business usually people are either in the Microsoft or Java camps. I don't think you see either as the market leader in Internet marketing.

PHP, Perl and MySQL seem to be right up there.

I look at it and I must believe it's just the concept of the old land grab. You don't want to use tools that are tainted with propriety and licensing when you are in the gold rush looking to stake your claim.

Plus, there's just lots of stuff out there and PHP is easy.
