This article chooses PROs for PHP that are hardly and issue, especially when developing a non-trivial app.
Hosting, for example, is a breeze with PHP because of the wide support on budget hosts. However, devs typically follow 5-year old workflows and FTP their changes to the site. Heroku and the like did not exist for PHP for some time and perfected the ease of deployment and hosting better than budget hosts could.
I still develop primarily in PHP and JS everyday, and the majority of my code is all about the architecture of the app and domain models. PHP's quirks are never an issue when the bulk of your work is with abstracted objects.
PHP can be elegant with frameworks like Symfony2 and Doctrin, which in my opinion, hold developed and their pull-requests to extremely high standards for th PHP community.
The coder and the architecture have much more to do with the elegance or "suckiness" of a language.
