A friend texts me last night "we're ready to finally build a website for our bar" half hour phone call later and a basic 4-5 page Wordpress website is decided upon. And after what will be 8-10 hours of work sometime this weekend, I'll be finished with the site, have earned a quick $800 (friend prices) and he'll have something nice and easy to maintain. PHP is not the devil - it allows a lot of us to earn a living / make some extra cash - backed by an incredibly huge community and is easy to write in. If I was building the next Facebook - sure, I'd spend time researching languages, frameworks, etc... but day to day programmers don't care about language short-comings or pitfalls - we care about earning a living and whatever it takes to get the job done cost effective. And my friend cares about functionality / cost / ease of updating. 90% of the internet is made up of websites like this - quick and easy websites that serve a small niche population. Not massive scalable multi million dollar spanning websites. Get off my (PHP) lawn!
