I would say all languages have their 'lousy developers', however, since very few schools focus on teaching the 'proper coding style' for PHP it leads to people learning from a variety of resources available online, and this leads to them receiving mixed messages from the tutorials and allowing people the ability to choose the method they prefer. Since there is very little syntactic consistency among the code produced by developers, it leads to the perception that the developers are 'lousy'.
