Why is PHP so hated? Stop the fake news: it is really great!

Have been working with PHP for years. Still my favorite language to get anything done with quickly. Even for large scale web apps: PHP is still the best, have people tried node or other languages and how painful those are?
Though I’m ok with what Meta has done with Hack, I would honestly prefer plain PHP. Since PHP 7 it is on the same performance level. FB just went wrong with the mono-repo, mono-deploy, no-namespaces combination.
PHP just always had that ‘kiddie-script’ air around it. It wasn’t academically perfect like Java, which is unusable and so over complicated.
Join PHP!
