What makes me sad is that even though I feel affronted by PHP's crudeness, inelegance and inconsistencies… I keep using it for a lack of another language that suits me personally.
I hate PHP's runtime and core libraries. But I really like the C-inspired syntax. I use Objective-C as my main other language, and something about Ruby and Python's syntaxes seem to rub me the wrong way. I'm giving Node.JS a whirl these days—and while I might be able to get used to closures everywhere, I don't know how to feel about the lack of true object orientation.
