PHP is share-nothing architecture. Nobody really uses threads in mainline PHP. Whole class of problems around multi-threading, mutexes, dead locks etc. are really foreign to PHP developers.

Share-nothing architecture, good, stable ecosystem build around Composer, Laravel and Symfony and as you said a lot of devs. Otherwise, I think differences in syntax etc. are rather subjective and everyone has their preferences. For example
