Among, say, the top 10 most used languages, PHP is easily the worst.
I'm sure you can learn a lot from PHP/Wordpress, but everything has opportunity costs. You can learn better from better languages and frameworks.
My shop does Python, Java, C and PHP. I know very good programmers who happen to write PHP for a living. They are the ones sneering at PHP the hardest.
