It was already said before but a lot of people's opinion on PHP were made long time ago, when it was honestly quite a dirty language.

But the main reason, I think, is that some people, who are not necessarily the more numerous, but those who scream louder, have really strong and arbitrary opinions about what they like. And they seems like to think that the better way to defend their choice is to trash other people taste...

And it's sadly not limited to development, as you said it's like "bad" taste in music (no I don't like Nickelback but you do, good for you, enjoy it !).

Oh come on Quentin, you've got a Nickelback song in your playlist! Yeah, I'm getting the feeling it must be something in the past that was the basis for this. I really enjoyed using PHP and found it very very easy to use. We'll see how node, then python goes for me. It's a very exciting new world, this code thing!
