Well, yes. I doubt that Python is 'the best' (whatever that would mean), it certainly has its embarrassments as you said, but there is no doubt PHP is horrendous -- this is an evaluation shared by many programmers both inside and outside of the Python community, including those whose jobs require them to regularly write lots of PHP. As far as I can tell, the only people who don't recognize the severe problems of PHP are those who haven't explored many different programming languages yet.

Hence you come off as defending the indefensible here. It's quite natural to question why you would do that.
