I understand not everybody likes PHP, some prefer python, java, go. PHP is my go to language for tinkering on my personal projects. Also, I don't need to run an instance per each little desktop application. I can run one instance and "host" all them on the same instance.

PHP is still a great environment for toy projects. I write nearly everything web-based in PHP if I have no outside constraints because I can get started with it quickly every single time.

Before learning Python I used PHP for simple command line utilities, no complaints here.
