I have a similar love/hate relationship with PHP. I write PHP because I want my code to be used by as many people as possible. As long as another language gets even a tenth of the deployments PHP has, I will gladly start writing software in that language. One thing that must surely die, is PHP 4. Please stop making your PHP projects backwards compatible from PHP 4.2 and up. PHP 5 is a lot more palatable and 5.3 even more so. We have to kill PHP version 4. With fire. It would be a service to all PHP users, as well as the PHP developers who still have to maintain the 4.2 branch. And it would move PHP 6 one step closer to reality, from the pipe dream it seems like today.
