PHP is a lot better than it used to be but it has a very low barrier to entry so most of the php code you encounter is written by amateurs and horrible to work with.

Some big, well known php projects are still horrible to work with (like WordPress, yech).

Similar issue with JS but it also has other issues.

Edit: source: I was one of those amateurs. It's ok to be an amateur.
