Very much agree, particularly as it seems to be the case that "low-skilled people can use it" rather than "low skilled people can use it well."

I'd argue while it's very easy to get started with PHP, it's very hard to build some of good quality with any significant functionality compared to say rails/ django (ignoring framework != language).

Not at all suggesting it's impossible to build good quality apps in PHP but that it's very easy to build bad ones so to build a good one, the programmer already has to be pretty good, making it a poor choice for low skilled people use imo.
