Fuckin' Ada, man. Listen up fer once.

PHP has no features to allow it to draw windows and stuff, apart from
perhaps the PHP-GTK project, which is going nowhere as far as I can see.
On the other hand it's very good at doing the sort of grunt background
work that f'rinstance my email app needs, such as working with
databases, reading/writing emails to/from remote hosts. Can't (really)
do any of that in JS.

What JS *is* good at, in combination with a browser, is providing a GUI
interface to the user - in other words all the type of things you want
that were flagged up above by Denis. So in my email app, *all* those
things listed above are implemented using JS. No way at all to do it
with PHP.
