Most of the people using PHP almost certainly disagree with you. (Most of the people who have a clue about PHP, i.e. @fabpot and crew, may not disagree so strenuously, but I would suggest that they are the edge case.)

Of course the people who don't find php to be painful would disagree in my assessment that php is painful, kind of by definition. :)

Would you choose an operating system based on how easy it was to install, or how pleasant it was to use?

Sure, but you said that that was "optimizing for the edge case". Your edge case is PHP's base case, y'know?
