I think you seriously understate what's wrong with PHP. Beside all the things that is mentioned in that article, I love how you suggest several php frameworks that attempt to be like Rails but all built on such a flawed language.
And Rails is not hard to deploy any more... that argument is several years out of date.
The problem is lack of usage examples and feedback. When you follow the API and your program doesn't work, the solution is to google your problem to find...
... your own post from 5 years ago asking exactly the same, unanswered, question. *sigh*

I code in Ruby for a living (Rails), and I think it's a really fun language. Which is something a fair number of rubyists say, and which is something you don't hear a lot of other folks say about their language of choice. For what that's worth...
This. So much this.
Over the years I've used various languages to some degree... C, C++,Java, PHP, Perl.... and Ruby is simply the most fun and most expressive. I'll allow that all these languages have their strengths. (ok, not PHP). Python, too has many valid proponents and use cases, but I just can't have fun in a whitespace sensitive language. Java - I think is nice for people that like to type a lot. The modern day COBOL. But if IIRC, the fastest ruby interpreter is currently JRuby, so I can't entirely fault Java. C and C++ is obviously best for kernels and libraries where speed matters a lot, but obviously horrible for web application development.
For my own interests in web application development, Ruby on Rails is a sweet spot... I can make a lot of money doing something really fun. What's not to like about that?
!I can go to Microsofts tech forums and find out which topics I researched 10 years ago. (Comes in handy when an old fart like me starts thinking, "Didn't I have to solve a similar problem back in...")
What gets me is when I google a particular problem and the first result is a post I made 5 years ago asking the same question. Even worse is when it went unanswered 5 years ago.:(
The BIG convenience of owning a gun and ammunition is that I can take my amphetami^D^D^D prescription meds, drink a shot of jack and then impulsively decide to unload said gun on anyone that is within range, immediately, with immediate effect and a very low risk of danger to self.
The BIG convenience of owning a gun and ammunition is that I can take my gun and ammunition and defend my home from you, immediately, with immediate effect, without the high risk of waiting 20 minutes for the police to arrive.
And for dropping someone jacked up on drugs, 7 rounds might not be enough to get the job done definitively.
Yeah, I have to revise my statement, I didn't know about the second wave this week, and we are busy patching dozens of applications. All rails apps are vulnerable until updated. This is pretty darn serious in the rails community.
explain how he sidestepped a murder charge from a soverign nation
He didn't. He is a person of interested wanted for questioning, not a charged criminal. If he was a charged criminal, fleeing to the US wouldn't help, as the US has an extradition treaty with Belize that provides for the extradition of criminals charged with any of a wide array of crimes, including, naturally, as #1 on the list, murder.
.. and after posting this to his blog, he has a rather strong argument that he would be the victim of political persecution if sent back, so I would highly question whether we would send him back even if they did press charges.

(6) I spent little to no time now on system administration for my own system (compared with 20% of my work time in Linux, with unpredictable breakages)
THIS.
I have been a linux fan since '95 or so, but as I have transitioned from system admin work to programming, I find that linux is high maintenance. Since getting a mac, my efficiency at actually getting work done has skyrocketed because I don't spend time fiddling with the latest window manager widgets. I use linux for servers and testing, but it still can't match the stability of a mac desktop.
I don't think the angular change of 14 minutes makes much difference in the beam width. Compensating for the rotation of the earth is a much bigger issue.

Sure, PHP has its fair share of design flaws,

Look again at a globe. Halfway between these two locations is somewhere north of Alaska.

I have an old pc with a P4 hyperthread, running Windows XP, and it can't run much more than solitaire anymore either. What's your point?
Clearly tuxracer is all the thrill he can handle.
I'm a Mac user stuck with the little puzzle thing where you slide the tiles. I would love to have access to the gaming awesomeness that is Tux Racer.
Seriously? Try again.
Haha. As a Californian, I can sympathize with west-coastie-toasties who do feel that being stuck in the Carolinas is "hell",
Funny, I was thinking the same thing about being stuck in California... ;)

That's just silly, since the fix can be easily applied. It really nothing compared to all the wordpress exploits out the that never get patched.

Of course, then there's the fire danger...
Kinda hard, if your employer uses it, and it's the only way to join a remote meeting.
Or doing something very right and making tons of money at it. Some people have expensive computers for a reason.
You must be new here.

Whatcha talkin bout Willis?
Just a wild guess, but I'd say, point it at mars.... It's not that hard to find.
It has been doing reruns for a quite a while now. But I still read 'em. :D
This. Well, there's even better coffee than your examples, but Starbucks is by far the worst coffee ever.
