PHP isn't like nationalism - you aren't unpatriotic to criticize. If you are enlightened, all languages must have either some utility, or some feature that teaches you something. Keep exploring.

Also, I dealt with this by getting _deeper_ into PHP by seeing what made it tick - writing C/C++ extensions for PHP. Not super fun, but helped me understand the value of Python/SWIG.
