And a technically bad one that because of which you can't do anything
interesting with without inventing your own set of extensions in any
haphazard manner you like is no better, RDF is easy, there's plenty of
toolkits out there, in just about every language.  If your average
programmer can't get to grips with these, I think I can see why so much
software is bad!

That perception is just wrong, I have no idea about PHP though.
