Just between PHP 5.2 and 5.4 we've gained traits, closures, namespaces, function array derefrencing, access to member upon instantiation, and lots of other lovely additions to the language. I don't see languages like Java or Python evolving this quickly -- by contrast.
But now we also need the people who insisted that these were essential coming up to the plate and producing good documentation on how they should be used properly. As yet they are not adding anything to MY existing code base except hassle.
All these 'extras' may seem 'sexy' to some people, but if there is no pressing need to use them why would many of us bother? Apart from later having to debug some third party library that has been 'sexed up' with the latest gismoes and which is almost unreadable due to the shortcuts it uses.
