I agree on the simplicity of php. The barrier to write php is low. All you need is notepad and browser. This may be a transition from writing html.

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.

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.
