Right, I do agree. I have another perspective though, perhaps unique to my situation: when a client contacts you and asks you to do something related to .net or java, they know they must pay big bucks. On the other hand, clients for PHP work normally have a much lower budget, they always look for quick, and cheap gigs. That comes back to bite them in the future though because you cannot have great developers putting a huge amount of care into the project. You end up with quick hacks that are full of holes.
Also despite all it's faults, I find it very difficult to convince a client to try out any other solution. Even knowing all its shortcomings, the clients always want to use something that is popular or recommended by their marketing guy, or that they are familiar with.
I'm not blaming anyone for this of course (perhaps it's everyone's fault?). It's just an observation.
