And I have a soft spot for a database based configuration like the Asterisk Realtime configuration. Yes, there are many PHP based web UIs for both to make the configuration chores "easier", but I hate them for reasons too numerous to enumerate here.

I don't think you need to enumerate... "PHP" covers it all for me.
If I wanted to create a language that was for people who had never taken a programming course in their lives, and had an endless list of CVE's for the enjoyment of hackers, I would have called it "PHP".
But... I'm a security programmer, so I dislike weakly typed languages.
