My beef with PHP is all the added traffic I get on my http server. Every day I get a list php directories get request from people looking to score on some low hanging miss configured lamp box. Then on the flip side the people that do have php files miss configure they get turn into DDoS boxes against me.

I've actually configured my webservers to start firewalling hosts that make requests for /admin.php, /wordpress/wp-admin/blah.php, and any other request which is destined for a PHP-file.

I don't use PHP, and these kind of bots are just too noisy to put up with.
