Ruby may be better than PHP, but the kind of attitude that Ruby seems to encourage has always been a huge turn-off for me. The amount of time Ruby supporters will take in bashing other languages seems... immature, at best. It doesn't seem as though it's always been this way, but it has become that way. For me, Python is the place to go if you want a good language with an emotionally mature community. Maybe that will change, just like it has for Ruby. Luckily, there's always the PHP community for people who will never cop an attitude about how beautiful their language is. Such is the inevitability of a pragmatic, patchwork language.
