If you don't like it you can:
a) either walk away from PHP & go to use Java/.Net/...
b) try to fix the problems.
1) work with the existing PHP team, fix what you see as issues
2) fork the project, attract a bunch of good developers on the basis of
the strength of your ideas and your charisma
Yes: PHP has got problems, but it does seem to have much more that is right
than is wrong. PHP documentation is good when compared to many FLOSS projects;
I do agree that some parts of the language description/definition are a bit
fuzzy.
The language has inconsistencies: everyone agrees that, but it has evolved into
something that Rasmus would not have believed when he first started.
Oh: which of the actions above is more likely to produce good results
for everyone: b1.

I don't have a problem in you believing that. Now: off you go and pay all
your MS license fees and marvel as to how secure it is and how quickly and
openly they address bugs. We will still accept you back when you become
disillusioned.
