We usually gain a better understanding of the world through numbers rather than booleans.
It's true that programmers hate PHP. It's true that programmers love PHP. It's true that programmers hate other languages. It's true that programmers love other languages.
This isn't very useful, as you seem to imply; but only due to the boolean perspective.
Numerically, PHP is hated far more than other languages, and loved far less (StackOverflow surveys come to mind, but I'm sure there's a whole lot more data on this)
The StackOverflow surveys only show you the data from the people who want to answer. It's always going to be skewed one way or another. I use and like PHP, and I rarely do the SO survey because I never see it in time.
