The wiki says that GetSimple supports PHP 5.2. This version has been off life support for quite some time now (2011), lacks a number of useful features that are now available in later PHP versions, and is open to many security risks.
According to w3techs, PHP >= 5.3 is used by more than 84% of PHP sites.
I guess what I'm asking is this: should the project still be supporting a legacy version of PHP that is as far behind the curve as 5.2 is? Many of the ways we could improve the core code (and plugin development) are marred by functionality that doesn't exist in 5.2, but does in 5.3.
