It's not that PHP is terrible. You can definitely write code in it that gets shit done.
It's that it exists in the same universe with Python, Ruby, Java, Clojure, Erlang, etc.
If you have the freedom to choose your implementation language, and those are your alternatives (to name just a few), that's when PHP is harder to justify. Not that it's terrible in isolation. In relative terms.
