One of my PHP bug submissions is already in high school. The other is in kindergarten. Thankfully both of them won't see light of day in most applications.
But focusing on PHP is rubbish - you can look at any language and find questionable choices. The moment where we need frameworks to make the warts go away - that's worrying. Same thing with JS really
I used to have similar experience with most of the free source (that, or silence when project got abandoned), until Laravel, where I was yelled at because somebody apparently needed an ego boost that day. I still love the framework, but I don't think I'll be trying to reason there anymore. Still - maintaining projects most of the time is unappreciated job, so kudos if you do it
