My problem with PHP is that it's a signal of developer laziness. There are a lot of very interesting things going on with languages nowadays. If you develop in PHP because "it pays the bills" you ARE NOT the type of developer I ever want to work with.

Honestly, I'm starting to see the same thing with Python/Ruby/JS devs. Stick with one language that you're comfortable with and never push yourself.

PHP is an order of magnitude worse in that respect than the other scripting languages.

I have been retweeted by it :P

I stand by my opinion though despite the (anticipated) downvoting. Programming in PHP is anti-intellectual.
