*Some people. I despised older versions from my time dealing with it (during the upgrade from PHP2 to 3), and I never wrote non-trivial amounts of JS until the last year or so. PHP has a broad base of anti-support.
BTW, my loathing of earlier versions don't carry through to now. I haven't had to look at it in a couple decades and maybe it's better now. I was strongly in the hater camp, based on my own personal experiences with it, around the time JS was starting to become a thing.
