Modern for the sake of modern isn't needed for a good app. Especially a web app. Stability, availability of developers, and ease of debugging however are important. PHP has those. Granted it's not the only one, and I think there are better alternatives, but it's really easy to write a good app in PHP. Bad coding practices and bad application design will make ANY app have bad code. PHP just historically had a lot of that.
