That's just me, not going to pretend I know everything in programming, I consider myself a baby trying to walk. There are so many things to learn, yet not so much time to tackle them. I don't think I'd be quick to judge first time programmers, unless they attempt to sell their code (freelancing, which happens a lot, or offer their solution as "the best" which happens a lot in forums). But yes I do get what you mean I haven’t dabbled with a language that allows me multiple inheritance, it also makes me think well … why do you want to make your object “dependant” of all X classes.

Do I like that it has single inheritance and (up until 5.3) early static binding? No not really, but I can get around that. Do I like that it's typeless? Yes, it's very liberating. Do I like the namespace syntax? No, but that's not really an issue, it's just one character after all. It seems to me that the same people that say they don't like PHP are the same people that don't like JavaScript. I think JavaScript is a great language, it's my favorite in fact, as do many respected, and notable professionals. PHP gets a bum wrap because 1) it had a lowly beginning meant to only be a simple personal tool, and 2) it's so easy that a lot of first time programmers use it, leading to the proliferation of bad/ugly code, and frankly stupid and unintelligent questions (which is the same reason that JavaScript gets burned often...and still somehow).
