Core PHP is not something to worry about if it functions the way it was intended. It may seem nice to re-write everything from the ground but for a business perspective that's a big risk. That usually happens when the company grows and have enough budget for the R&D division.

I've been in such a situtation too. We ended up writing everything from ground.
I proposed the same but the proposal was brutally rejected.

There's always room for improvement!
yaa that's the issue we are facing. the time and money.
But the truth is: php just works. It's been running WordPress for decades.

PHP is cool. Its the people implementing it are with issues. Not doing what should have done.
Exactly.
