I used to write php apps and wordpress plugins. Php always felt messy and weird to me. But i think strength of php lies in its vast available free scripts and ability quickly stitch up server side rendering, but probably now, node would be better for that now. it feels like certain style which was popular a decade ago, now seems not so exciting or new. Probably that vibe is what lost with php. But then if you like to find try out other language like Kotlin, Haskell, Elixir or even Ruby. I think there are other language communities are much more vibrant than php. For example python, ruby, java. Also these language have expanded their beyond just web development that also kind of fueled that adoption.
