I've noticed that it's in vogue to bash PHP, but frankly, with the current state of the language, along with its frameworks and libraries, there's no better time to work with PHP.

I've noticed that, too, I think a lot of people who bash PHP may have used it at one point, switched to something like Rails or Django, and assumed that PHP stood still, which just wasn't the case. In fact, while I may not use rails, I'm very glad it came about, because it was a very necessary kick-in-the-ass to other language communities to address common and necessary development concerns.

The thing about new technologies, is that they rarely replace the old technologies, usually they just provide new ideas to make the old technologies better.

I wouldn't be surprised; that's certainly the pattern that befell (early-ish) linux users that moved away from the platform.
