I did java for about 8 years, never really liked it.

I was sceptical about moving to javascript after 8 years of java, but I loved JS.

I came back to PHP after about 10 years of not using it, and I loved it.

Bottom line: it's just a language. Languages evolve, and it really depends on what you're trying to achieve which language is suitable to your needs. They're just tools. As with real-life languages, it doesn't hurt to actually learn something about a language before you start bashing it.
