You can't just say "... if I ignore the ~30% of the internet that WordPress powers".

But anyway, after that... Wikipedia, Laravel, Symphony, CakePHP.

At the bottom of that pile... I built a CakePHP front end for a startup that after 8 years and was sold for $50m. Didn't require massive scaling, but the code had to be released on Windows servers in internet disconnected sites. The PHP code didn't require a single fix to production in the last 6 of the 8 years.
