I just made a comment that made me realize that the complaints I heard in the early 2000’s about PHP are mostly the same as I heard today and they are all due to one thing: skill issues.
They need a language or IDE that can hold their hands. They need a code base that doesn’t require much thinking. This is all for good and for the better, BUT, they are all due to skill issues.
You hate PHP because you are not good enough to tame it.
