In all seriousness, your snarky criticism of PHP is unfair. Like Django does for Python, there are plenty of great PHP frameworks that provide design templates, ORM, and ready-made admin.
That and I already had a server set up that could take a lot of traffic, whereas our PHP servers? Not so much. So, for me, Django was the right decision. PHP has been the right decision for other projects, though. Just not this one.
