You get nothing in exchange for the extra headaches of PHP. Of course you receive something in exchange. Whatever explanation you have for the ubiquity of PHP is the benefit one receives in exchange. Besides, my point is that headaches are not inherent to PHP. Just because a community of hobbyists and novices churn out shaky code doesn't mean that developers employing best practices will. https://github.com/symphonycms/symphony-2/tree/master/symphony/lib/core https://github.com/symphonycms/symphony-2/tree/master/sympho... Here is an example of quality PHP code. Clear and organized OO structure, useful comments, self documenting method and variable identifiers. Why is this inherently wrong?
