While I don't agree that it's good. It is definitely a huge reason why beginners love PHP. For learning how to code you can't beat how easy it is to put PHP on a server.
Also things like, file_get_contents() is stupid simple. It's often abused but you can put anything in that and get something back. Even a URL. Who care's if every once in a while you get a 500, or 404. Most of the time it works just fine.
PHP is going to be really hard to replace. I think your better off looking to graduate PHP developers to something else.
