Nothing in that article fixes the issues that make PHP unpalatable to me. They are all new features added to the current broken set. Even if they are new and shiny they don't make the rest of the language suddenly better. Which is really kind of the problem with PHP. All of that broken stuff was allowed to be broken for so long that it's effectively impossible to fix it. All you can do is layer on more features.
