Let me add my 2 cents. I do a lot of work PHP and when I want to do web stuff it's the path of least resistance. Other languages are certainly better but they're just not better enough to get over that hump. I'm still maintaining lots of PHP code and I only have so much brain space to dedicate to languages/frameworks for exactly the same task.
I do some work in C# now but for many reasons I don't want to do web with .NET.
I've done significant work in C, C++, Perl, C#, over the years. If my brain was wiped clean of all knowledge of PHP, I'd probably end up doing most work in Python.
