I'm firmly in the Lisp crowd.

I loved to hate PHP until I was forced to dig into it to help a friend set up a Wordpress site. And now I don't hate it any more. It does the job it was designed to do in a reasonably non-horrible way. I don't think I'd ever try to build a Facebook-scale app with it ;-), but as the BASIC of web site creation, it doesn't completely suck.
