You also need a server, which I think is one of the crucial components for PHP adoption.
MAMP, XAMPP, WAMP are all really easy to install and you don't need to go into the CL to do anything.
Compare this to other languages where you need multiple tools before you can even begin.
This doesn't make php better. It just may explain why less people make the jump.
