Yet another dev with 15+ years in PHP here: Yes and no. PHP has improved a lot, but it's still very inconsistent as a language and it is just so much easier to maintain large applications in languages that are compiled and strictly typed. I'll actually open source something pretty large using PHP fairly soon, but I just can't wait to finish it and switch over to other tools.
On the plus side, the ecosystem (meaning packagist.org) is very good and the tooling is also not bad.
