I think PHP can be both powerful and easy to use, and I think I have an example of that in my own experience. I've got code I wrote on PHP 2 years ago, that has gone through a couple face lifts and modifications to keep it compatible with new syntax, and occasionaly take advantage of new features. But you look at the code and it is still 'newbie' code because I haven't spent the time to rewrite from scratch. The point I'm trying to make is that PHP remains extremely easy to learn and use while it has gotten far more powerful over the years. I think there is still more room for more powerful and advanced constructs in the language without making the language perl. I also think there is still a lot of room for making PHP even easier to use, especially for new users. This is the way I've always seen PHP, and the way I think it should remain.
