A year ago I reviewed most of the popular "Self-hosted 'Cloud'" packages and found they all had pretty ugly history (security vulnerabilities in particular) and the technologies used didn't inspire confidence in the developers (when data security and integrity are on the table, PHP developers wouldn't be my first choice, nor any choice). Are there any decent tools out there today or is it still the same situation?

Good questions! Note, that I'm affilated with Nextcloud so obviously a bit biased. Only because a project is very transparent about security vulnerabilities does not necessarily mean it's inherently insecure. In fact, at ownCloud we found all critical vulnerabilities ourself and also run a successful bug bounty program. (for Nextcloud we are also considering one) Check https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11821854 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11821854 for more insights.
