As an example, I once worked at a place where the code was all VB6, it was filled with meaningless variable names like "stbbb" and "aaa", and they frequently used the following idiom: If {condition} Then {do stuff} Goto label End If {do stuff} label: All of that *was considered acceptable practice*. But the fact they found it acceptable obviously doesn't change the fact that those are horrible practices: it just meant they were a bunch of complete fucking amateur morons. And such people are *all over* web development. Full time, with a salary. It's pathetic, but very, very true. So no, of course not "all" developers consider classic-style-PHP code/html-mixing to be horrible, but the ones who actually have at least somewhat of a clue what the hell they're doing certainly do.
