PHP has gotten a lot better. New APIs have been added on top of features like classes. And many of the worst of the older APIs have been deprecated.

It still works on the "new interpreter per request model". But that has advantages in the multicore world: everything is thread-safe by default, and will scale to N cores without any extra work (for shared state people tend to use something like Redis).

It's by no means perfect. But if you stick to the modern bits and use one of the nicer frameworks (like Laravel), then I think I'd prefer it over something like Ruby.
