> Most developers who hate PHP hate it out of elitism or ignorance. I don't think I'm an elitist. I inherited a system that was written by a pretty bright guy without a lot of programming experience: thousand-line files mixing logic and presentation, that sort of thing. It was a bear to maintain, it was a bear and a half to secure. It gave me a distaste for PHP, yes. I don't hate PHP, I'd just rather use something else.
