Because it's a solid SDK and I'm used to PHP.

Ya, ya, whatever.
Hey, nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj76rfwd6zumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqghwaehxw309ahxverz9ehx7umhdpjhyefwvdhk6qpq2262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s4pc3yf , do you have a NFDB relay link for me to stream to, from thecitadel, or should I just use nostr.land, for now? I don't mind, if it's Very Beta, just want you to see the publication testdata.
Send as JSON file. Current NFDB relay is down for maintenance because I’m deploying to nostr.land next

That is a good reason.
It works well by itself. No doubts about that.
I just have nightmares from misbehaving wordpress plugins, mcguvyeing websites to barely function, and overall it felt like trying to untangle a lot of Christmas tree lights. This is why I stopped web development. I was good at it, but the stress levels were way too high from overly demanding clients.
I wouldn't use it for a website front-end, but I wrote a little CLI with it, and that's pretty good. Also does nice middleware for RESTful APIs.
