I don't think its really a resentment (for the most part) against OO in
PHP even if it seems that way. One of the stated goals of PHP is to
have a low learning curve and this is something it does very well. I'm
sure you can agree that OO concepts typically don't fit that criteria
which is why you can still build complete PHP apps without using any OO
concepts. So the seemingly resentful attitudes should probably be
viewed as one of "lets do our best to keep this as simple as possible
while retaining the power it is intended to provide".

how to say it in English - resentment against OO on PHP lists and

gets
expressed as derogatory expressions like "cosyness" or "cuteness", as a
"quick and dirty" attempt to discredit something without any proper
argument.
