Unlike Ruby and Python, PHP and Tcl are not mentioned in the context of "making it easy to do things right", and there is a reason to that: they don't.

My experience with Tcl is restricted to Vignette V/5, one of the most unproductive development environments that I've had the displeasure of using, so in this case I agree with you. Tcl on its own may be a much better experience.I have little bad to say about PHP -- I like it better than Perl for server-side scripting. I've never used Python, other than working through the O'Reilly book a couple years ago to see what it was about. It seemed ok.
