It's not a who's a better guru. I'm sure Jeff writes better Java than I do. But "This aint your grandmother's java". I participate in a HipHop (php) discussion group too, and people will say "Well XY and Z aren't possible with out ZEND" well, no they are just hard without it.
If you are running Wordpress for your personal blog you can do PHP on DreamHost. If you are Facebook you use HipHop. Writing a small App with no performance requirements you can use PHP and Zend. But at scale you need that "Simpler" version of the language. Even Python on AppEngine isn't "Python" you don't get all the C stuff. The Fortran stuff. You are Accessing Google API's via a language. You can pick your language, Python, Java, Go, but you are writing in "AppEngine" it's there world we just play in it. The good news, if you write to those rules and wrap the API's in Class/functions of your own (which you need to make things work in the sandbox), your code will be scalable portable, and happy on anyone else's platform.
