I agree with both statements, it gets shit done but has its rough edges. Its improving though and I doubt there's a perfect programming language out there. At the end of the day what matters are results and how quickly you went from idea to production and PHP is one of the good ones for that matter.

I think "rough edges" is an understatement. It has serious design flaws and inconsistencies which are probably never going to be fixed due to backwards compatibility. It's like C++ now, tons of language features are added over the years but non of them is able to repair the language, similar to a game of Jenga, the tower will collapse eventually.
