"... with the exception of ease of deployment" Sometimes, this actually is a significant (technical) advantage. Of course, PHP is not perfect, but which language is? Sometimes, even the old VB(A/S) can be the best choice to solve a given problem. In my opinion, languages aren't the end in itself - they're just tools. I've get to know programmers that use "kiss-ass" technologies but cannot solve (business) problems. Again, an example I've mentioned before: I you have no idea what the "De Casteljau"-algorithm is about, how could you implement a adequate solution for a given problem with any technology? But if you do, there's not so much difference implementing it with Canvas/JavaScript, SVG, VML, Whatever.
