If you use a template system like Laravel Blade or Twig, like most modern PHP projects, then this feature of PHP isn't really used anymore and porting a PHP App to Ruby or Python isn't such a big deal anymore. In my eyes, using something like Laravel takes away the "quick and dirty" aspect of PHP and adds a lot of things which have to be learned first, makes the project more stable and more comparable to a Python Django or Ruby on Rails project.
