I grew up coding in PHP and still love it to this day, so I agree with the basic premises of this article.
The one thing that bothered me was towards the end. In trying to justify PHP's coolness (which I am not arguing against), people continuously bring up Facebook as an example, even though they've repeatedly stated that they wanted to move away from PHP to Python years ago but realized they couldn't after having hundreds of thousands of lines in PHP.
PHP's cool. I love PHP. But, let's stop using Facebook as an example of a company "embracing PHP".
