I'm confident your mind can be changed on that. Mine has :) (WordPress vs. Symfony is a good example "normal" PHP to "elegant" PHP code)

Symfony makes PHP about as elegant as Java.

Elegance to me is strong types & classes, decoupled. Elegance to you may be more about loose types and flatter structure?
