I'm primarily a Ruby developer, but my current gig has me working exclusively in PHP (and worse yet, Wordpress). PHP as a language is actually pretty stellar these days. There are things about it that I dislike, but there has been a lot of recent work put in to improving the language. I'm always finding nice features.

Really the place that PHP is lacking is on the tooling/ops side of the projects built on top of it. A lot of what I have to work with still seems to be 15 years old. That said, it's getting better and other peoples' preferred tools have their share of problems as well.

Ops practices of WordPress hosting companies. Pantheon is one of the few exceptions to this, so props to them.

Management panels of hosting companies.

UltraDNS's website.

Salesforce.
