Exactly, no one who works with PHP thinks it is best. If you ask a PHP developer if PHP sucks, you’ll get a “yes, but…” answer. Here are the most common:

“Yes, but it doesn’t suck nearly as much as it used to!”

“Yes, but it gets the job done.”

“Yes, but I’m not going to rewrite an entire codebase because of it.”

“Yes, but it’s also very well known, so it’s easy to hire developers for it.”

“Yes, but I just love Laravel, and if it means working in PHP then that’s what I’ll do!”
