There's a decent chance that the danger around the recent PHP exploit was overstated. I mean, upgrade for sure, but the chances of "was I pwned by this" are pretty small.
I have mixed but generally positive feelings about PHP. I think there's real power in its "buildless" paradigm, and the way its monolith avoids the "package update hell" other platforms face - those hells vastly increase the cost of maintenance for long running projects.
(Its important to note PHP gets some of its mindblowing "on 75% of all servers" numbers specifically in its Wordpress mode... and for a long time I've preferred to roll my own CMS than wrestle with Wordpress)
