I can't see how you could advise a commercial client, rather than a hobbyist, to even consider a php/mysql site without a dedicated top line server and a custom writeen api. I mean I've done plenty but they don't do as well as a much more expensive HTML/CSS SEO site, no way.
But you're right an honest user just sees the site (albeit after a delay if it's php) and that's what sells the concept not the code.
I just got an email from Zeus, the folk who do that link exchange software. Their latest product converts php sites to optimised and validated HTML. I suppose only a lamer would need software to do that but they can see a demand.
Even if you have a topline dedicated they all seem to lame out and use .htaccess for rewrite which puts far too much load on the server. If you're on a shared and have .htaccess it's a lot worse. I have seen a good work around for mambo/joomla that rewrites the urls without mod-rewrite and .htaccess but this wasn't produced by the developers. Most CMS/Blogs are far too complicated and provide far more features than a basic site owner needs. Also, because you have to update the site on the server it takes forever and compomises any traffic you may have at the time. Every visitor counts for most of us so why risk it.

i advise my clients to use top of the line dedicated servers from a good hosting provider that specializes in the CMS/Platform used. It makes all of the difference in the world. There are also specialists that I work with to optimise for speed. If the resources are their, all can be done.
your right, its the 3rd party developers that have solved many of these issues for the CMS and Blogging platforms.
Yes, they are far to robist for many of my clients needs
as for updates, i haven't have any problems, its not like the server has to be rebooted, like with .asp sites and the users get kicked off. Its just upload and install a new component, (after its been fully developed and tested on a development server) and turn it on.
Everything has its drawbacks and work arounds, even the tried and true HTML sites have limitations. everything is a trade off, it all depends on what your trying to do and what your expectations are.
