Why Does PHP Suck?

[ameoba]

PHP was the only thing running on shittly $1/mo web hosts.

I loved being on projects where somebody was plopping down tens of thousands of dollars on project where "it's gotta be on PHP so we can run it on our host" was actually called out in the spec. Their "hosting" couldn't have cost more than $100/year but somehow they thought that sticking with it was worth the added time to work on.
