We know why we chose a PHP for a project, how "bad" PHP is and can weight that against advantages it brings. We already know all the jokes and just do our jobs. Also, I suspect some people do not get it when we say "it is not 2004 anymore". It REALLY isn't. We see and write this kind of code on daily basis: https://github.com/symfony/FrameworkBundle/blob/master/Command/ServerStatusCommand.php https://github.com/symfony/FrameworkBundle/blob/master/Comma... We do not deal with nightmare cases like this anymore: https://github.com/2b3ez/FileManager4TinyMCE/blob/master/tinymce/plugins/filemanager/dialog.php https://github.com/2b3ez/FileManager4TinyMCE/blob/master/tin... So, please do not pity us. We know what we use and why.
