I thought the actual programming problems also mattered to great programmers.

Would you rather do something boring in a beautiful language vs. something interesting in an ugly language?



That's a false dichotomy. There are plenty of interesting problems to be solved out there offering the use of better tools than PHP.


Only if they're greenfield projects. But if you're a job hunter, and there's a really interesting project using legacy code in a language you don't like, are you going to turn down a job offer because of that?
