PHP is a delight to work with, but that does not suit the signalling and over engineering crowd. We must recognize there is a social phenomenon evolving where some people seem to like complexity. That's why these developers are blind to ruby setup and dependency hell or nodejs insanity but magnify any self-perceived flaw in PHP without seeing the dissonance. This is a difficult act to pull off. This is so over the top and one sided it ceases to be useful. Pandering to these criticisms will not work as they are not sincere and these developers are too caught up in how they are perceived to ever use PHP. Those who care for PHP should be concerned about attempts to pander to perceptions as this will destroy the accessibility and simplicity that makes PHP useful for everyone.
