It's because you don't understand PHP's users perspective that you say these things. PHP isn't going away anytime soon. The most popular CMSs are written in PHP, not in Ruby,Python or Clojure. In the small business space, PHP is king, not Scala nor Groovy. Of course it's your opinion, but it's not based on any facts.
