This is the first time I've really heard this argument, which is sad because it really gets to the issue. Regardless of how FogBugz is developed, it is a PHP/VBScript VS Ruby on Rails scenario -- NOT a Wasabi VS Ruby on Rails scenario. In fact, Fog Creek's abstraction is genuis because it allows them to target multiple platforms from one intermediate language which provides the greatest flexibility in thier system. Should language blah become really mature and stable, they can just target their compiler to blah and create a blah version for clients. (Of course this doesn't mean he isn't egotistical and high on himself, but that's another argument entirely.) Finally!

Wasabi just doesn't make sense at all. He already has a PHP version, PHP scales (according to him), PHP works on windows, PHP works with IIS, PHP works with SQL server. What's the problem? Why bother with a compiler when you already have a cross platform, scalable, enterprise software? I agree Joel is just a troll, he uses his blog to advertise his (crappy) bug tracking software.
