It's because it's not 'cool' like the young backends on the block. HNer's like to be 'in' with the cool crowd, so collectively dump on stuff like PHP for no reason whatsoever.
I see the same with modern VB.NET. It's my go-to 'utility' language because I can knock up tools in it without having to think or look up code fragments. However it still has the stink of old BASIC on it for some reason and as such draws the distain of 'real' coders. I just don't get it.
