The acronym LAMP is emerging as a flexible collection of open-source technologies that are challenging the more established J2EE and Microsoft .NET stacks. In this special article, a long-time developer explains what he likes about LAMP.

Well... IMHO this is not a full/empty question: try to develop a real bussiness application with LAMP. It is feasible, but expensive in mantenaince.
I think it's better to use LAMP for small apps or even medium size, user interface intensive apps, and use J2EE for complex apps.

Nice article, but I don't think that it really answered the question asked. I love LAMP and would like to think that the answer is yes. I am also a believer that not one solution will work for every problem. It depends on time and money available to throw at the problem.
I would like to see some one highlight those points in which LAMP is comparatively strong compared to J2EE and .net.
Your Opinion?

Just throwing a webserver and a scripting language does not make it competetor to J2EE or .Net (leaving the OS and DB out of this because they are external to J2EE or .Net also).
Of course, this will be enough to support a simple web site with moderately complex functionality around it (LAMP fans!! I am not challenging whether you COULD develop highly complex applications with those set of tools... my question is 'what's the cost?').
Moreover, if some company is using a full J2EE suite for simple or moderately complex web applications (without any business reasons to do so), they better get a new architect. In my opinion, non-Java solutions cater to these needs much better without the complexity and cost.

you are comparing apples and elefants. pretty soon you'll have articles with lamp challenging assembler, and, a little later, miami heat.

I've been doing J2EE since it's inception, but I immediately liked LAMP better. Must be my C/C++ heritage.
