What are your opinions on php?

It was my starting language, and I can't seem to get away from it. I know a dozen other languages, but I almost always find PHP the best for the task. Certain techniques are of course easier in a language that has it built-in, but almost no matter how complex, I can figure out a way to do it in PHP (including monads, type polymorphism, lazy evaluation, etc.). As long as it can obey my commands faster than I can give them and give me the needed information within 5 seconds of execution, speed isn't much of an issue,

I think it's because I've gotten used to the documentation. When I want to do something complex, the documentations of other libraries and languages are more complex and thus offers a more moderate learning-curve until I get used to them, and I get bored while searching for new information.
