I would say that the thing that gives web devs a bad name is an attitude like yours.
I hope you're nobody's boss. Talent doesn't come from mild mannered yes men and doesn't look like plastering over decrepit slop.
I hope you will mature one day and that you will see that whatever bad experience you had with PHP (probably many years ago if not decades) is not universal.
