I wouldn't say it's unfounded but anecdotal. And I wouldn't necessarily call it "hate" either. PHP definitely isn't one of those technologies that you see often

I wouldn't say it's unfounded but anecdotal. And I wouldn't necessarily call it "hate" either. PHP definitely isn't one of those technologies that you see often on job listings of major companies - sure they might use it for some things such as blogs but it's rarely part of the stack of their staple products. The question isn't whether they use it but to what extent and in what products.
- AaronNewcomer 6y agoOn a quick search of PHP skills wanted on LinkedIn jobs I found the following large companies looking for it: Apple, Cloudflare, Vimeo, Box, Slack, Tesla, Etsy, Wayfair, Shopify, Facebook, Etc
- sroussey 6y agoClearly WordPress and Magento based businesses. Add in Facebook, Weebly/Square, and you realize that PHP probably drives more page views and powers more domain named sites than any other.
- spdionis 6y agoHow are Vimeo and Slack Magento or Wordpress businesses? Etsy also most certainly does not primarily use those.
