that's just not true. Given my experience, most PHP devs dont use a framework or even composer. When the forefront of your language is wordpress, it doesnt help spread best practices.Agreed you can write crap in every languages,you can write jsp pages, but it's unlikely you'll get a java job if you dont know OO or Spring.

Come on now, I hate PHP more than anyone else, but seriously, wordpress is the best that PHP has to offer. It doesnt suck. It has a quite nice API - its the plugins around wordpress that have quality similar to this 4chan source code.

Ive also seen much worse in Java world, with JSPs and all kinds of taglibs and action-handlers mashed up to create a soup which would make you crave for PHP.

People here love to poke fun at WordPress. I'd love to take any of them out of startup-land and make them work for a full week in a 10 years old corporate piece of software, written pretty much in any language.
