PHP coders have no class

I started web programming like many others: modifying code packages such as wordpress, joomla, and drupal. I was just getting used to coding paradigms (and have since gone from 20 cents to several dollars of techniques) and was doing more hacking than designing. Since then, I’ve learned to OOP, and have learned its elegance. Sadly, legacy projects that are more procedural have not developed in the same way I have, especially in the realm of PHP.  Andrew Rickmann elaborates:

Although from a code aspect wordpress may be somewhat behind, I find it is incredibly useful and elegant from an interface and usability perspective.
