Why I stopped using Node.js for most of my projects 👇

I got tired of installing a 3rd-party package for every small feature.

Want sessions? package.
File upload? package.
Validation? package.
Auth? 4–5 packages.
Security? More packages.

I just want to build — not manage dependencies.

PHP gives me sessions, cookies, forms, security, routing basics built-in.
Less boilerplate, fewer risks, faster shipping.

Node.js is powerful for real-time & microservices, but for rapid secure web dev — PHP feels more productive for me.

Not hate. Just choosing the tool that lets me focus on creating, not configuring.
