Though it may be unpopular, I agree wholeheartedly. Things simply get done with PHP and the environment doesn't get in the way like it does with any other framework/environment I used. Besides, it is possible to write good, fast and maintainable code with PHP, and when people do they can do so elegantly.
And you know what, I even prefer the bad script kiddie PHP code to, say, a 20k line classpath disaster in Java. Because this being PHP it's trivial to fix or rewrite stuff.
