A LAMP stack is still possible. Some lean toward alternative "frugal" stacks, like https://learnbchs.org/

It’s not like choice is not there.

In 2003-2004 the benefit of php was really php.net letting you comment on any function

Also here, that’s still an option, and comments are still there and (I guess) open to new entries. So what is the concern pointed at here?

		Just that there wasn't anything else like it at the time. There still kind of isn’t. The reduced context switching of curated questions and answers on the official documentation site is great.
