Good. PHP developers are being forced to meet a minimum standard of competence that the rest of the programming world met years ago. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that.
And I say that as a PHP developer who spent the majority of his time working through FTP and a text editor, manually dealing with dependencies, installing from ZIP files, dealing with the peculiarities of hand-rolled autoloaders and module systems. Drag them all into the harsh light of modernity.
And by "modernity" I mean "the modernity of thirty years ago," but nevertheless. Given the choice between sane dependency management in PHP and not learning the command line learn the command line.
How it's this in anyway a composer issue? Should this not be an issue on a specific project which is using composer? I am of the opinion that this is a non-issue overall.
