The thing that drew me to PHP originally, was that it was a much cleaner version of perl, which I'd been using for cgi up until discovering PHP. PHP *does* make simple web pages that need some dynamic content very easy and reasonably clean. But ah, then I found Python, after which everything else became ugly.
