After reading through the comments I have to leave my comment about PHP.

I have been developing in PHP, Java, and a little of C#, I also have done a few things with Python.

From my exprience it does not matter what language I'm using, it's just a matter of syntax and knowing the language.

My personal preference goes to PHP or Java, and while Python is nice I can't stand the whitespace thing, I like to be able to write my code without thinking about how it looks, only after its written I care about the look for later reading (in my case tell my IDE to make it pretty, by hand its boring but easy too).

While C# as a language is good for me, the msdn documentation sometimes seems rather lacking when compared to PHP or Java and in the case of Java the exceptions it thrown (btw if someone knows where there is a reference for the exceptions a method throws in C# please tell me, I can't find them in msdn).

Yes PHP has its frustrations and quirks, but it is possible to write well structured code for web applications and separating everything using MVC. Same applies to Java or C#, Python etc.

Don't like it? Stop caring about it.
