I love php, I love python, I love ruby. I learned php first and I am great at it. I code all my web apps with it. I use CodeIgniter which I find to be the best framework for a one man team.
What I realized early on was that I blamed PHP for being slow, when in fact I sucked balls at indexing my databases. I spent 99.99% of my time learning php and no time on my database design or SQL. I had shitty designs with shitty SQL queries that made my sites slow as fuck. People have put WAY too much attention towards the language and not enough on the database, this is the heart of your app and you need to learn how to optimize it. It is quite easy, spend the time.
