PHP has its pros and cons. A big pro is definitively job security: learn it now, learn it well and you'll have work for quite a long time. Composer is a pretty sane package manager, there are tons of frameworks and libraries out there to do nearly anything you can imagine, and also it's surprisingly fast. I'll even forgive the operator weirdness-- one big pain point that remains for me is how debugging PHP code is done. That said, after dealing with JavaScript and its inane ecosystem has made me appreciate all the ways in which PHP has improved over the years, although that's probably not the kind of answer you'd be looking for. :P
