I wouldn't expect to care that an app we use is MVC underneath.  That seems like too much detail to 
have to know.

It would be nice if the apps we use weren't in PHP.  The PHP guys would have been better off writing 
a Perl pre-processor, or perhaps extending the interpreter.  They're not nearly as good at language 
design as Larry Wall.

Just my opinion and it's up to the admin to decide what tool to use.  But I have to write PHP at 
work, I won't do it at home.
