Well, that's quite easy - if you judge a language by what it looked like 10 years ago, your opinion doesn't matter
Because no way could I dislike modern PHP. Maybe you just have low standards when it comes to programming languages?
Well, do you? Or is this just a hypothetical?
Hm, my experience is from the last years and PHP remains awful. If this is all solved, pm me: https://wiki.theory.org/YourLanguageSucks#PHP_sucks_because
Half of that are lies and you can clearly see how up to date it is, because in one example it mentions php 5.1. That is close to 20 years old, it was released in 2005. I'm not gonna spend my time trying to disprove something that refers to a 20 years old version as its point of reference.
Don't get me wrong, there are valid drawbacks of PHP (as with any language), this document just isn't a good representation of that.
