My personal bias against PHP has been born out of every single PHP project that I've encountered has been horrible. Everything from simple one page apps to complex projects has just been an unmaintainable mess.

Several years ago I was told to use Magento on a project. Great, Magento is a mature PHP app and I'll get to see some great PHP code. Nope, I was horrified by what I saw and dreaded coming to work everyday and having to deal with that mess of a system.

I have a hard time getting behind a language that everyone uses but no one uses well.
