And there are a ton of people who can't justify the switching costs of moving to a different language. And true, a lot of us aren't great programmers. So?
Better tools help. And it's perfectly okay to build and improve tools that regular people will use. Even if they won't be creating the Mona Webapp. ;)

I think at this point we might be better served by putting our efforts in to replacing PHP rather than improving it. The replacement need not be the ultimate web language, but should try to be a good language while maintaining a low barrier to entry.
