I don't consider myself a programmer, just someone working in IT that writes a lot of code, and to this day when I want to write any type of web page or web based "app" PHP is my goto tool. I can write my HTML and add PHP logic directly inline whenever I need it, and get the job done in no time. Sure I could spin up a node.js framework, use routing, create classes and objects, etc.. But to 99% of my needs it's just not worth the extra time.
