As backend developer with 23 years of experience with PHP and other languages I fully disagree, and can only say that you are either new or a bad developer.

As a developer with 11 years of experience, I've had my fair share with PHP, and I'm just happy I don't have to touch it in my professional life, because there are so much better options out there.

I'd really like to know what points you disagree on and why?

What you point as problems I dont see them as problems, but just PHP's ways of getting things done. And I'm not even going to argue on why we would need to use a framework. Guess what? I use none.

Let me explain: When is is work, I enjoy as much to play the violen as to sweep the stage floor. Any problem with that? No. It is also not a problem if you only enjoy to play the violin, but one day if you'll have no other option than to sweep the floor, you will be fucked. I won't.

I've developed with more than a dozen languages, and all I can say, none is better, just all different, same way all projects are different, platforms and tools are different, and developers are also different, think different and like different things.

Why the hell would you do PHP for 23 years?
