When that "well deserved criticism" comes from the same people who feel compelled to post in every PHP thread, obsessively, over and over again ... it's hate.

Hate isn't inherently negative. You can hate evil, etc.

However, if you hate a programming language ... there's really something wrong with you. It suggests a very sheltered life. There are far more important things in life that deserve your hatred.

I think something that forces me, almost daily, to waste my time dealing with problems that are simply nonexistent in more sane languages deserves my hatred. (And I have a LOT of hatred for it!)
What are some of the problems you deal with when coding PHP on a daily basis?

No, you choose to label someone else's opinion as "hate" because it lets you dismiss it and throw out baseless insults at those people with less risk of getting taken to task for it. You told other people (theoretical people at that) what they think, and then told them there is something wrong with them and they lead sheltered lives. How incredibly arrogant.
