I never said I like PHP. I use it daily for work and hate it. I was just refuting something on a factual basis -- PHP's "standard library" is absolutely enormous.
Everybody makes fun of PHP.
Except people busy running businesses and creating with it.
We run almost everything on Wordpress and still make fun of PHP. And JS. And Java. And ObjC. And Ruby. And Python. Every language has its share of problems and sometimes you just have to vent.
Sure, but: "we make fun of every language/every language has its share of problems, etc." is a completely different statement/message than "everybody makes fun of PHP" -- which singles it out as some huge abnormality...
apparently the humor of the post was lost on a few people...
