I couldn't agree more. I choose PHP, all that time ago, because back then I was a C developer. I fell in love with the fact you could create your own C extensions and that the PHP syntax was similar to C syntax, so it was easy to pick up and make it do what I wanted it to do. I've only every toyed with frameworks, never used one as such, because I built my own library up over the years that is suited to my needs.
