I have been paid to write PHP for several years of my career. More than any other language, I think, neck and neck with JS.

I have also written heavy amounts of Python and Java at various points in my career. A few other languages too.

PHP has many, many bad spots. It's easily the ugliest, clumsiest language I have been paid to use.

It's slightly dated, but this is still the best summary I know of:
