To be fair, you need to know the entire left-hand side of that graphic with PHP. The bottom-right quadrant is stuff you _should_ be doing (formalized methodology, version control, and testing). And the top-right quadrant is language-specific, in that you can replace it all with PHP and your PHP framework of choice (if necessary).

How exactly does PHP make it easier again?

Because I already know PHP.

The experience would be different for someone new to programming but I have no reason to learn Ruby at the moment.
