At the beginning PHP was a scripting language. But after the introduction and improvement of OOP I see more and more objects added to the core. They started with SPL which grew a lot, now we have DOMDocument family, DateTime family which should be part of PECL, Pear or Zend Framework or implemented by each one of us.
Shouldn't be php only for build-in functions and all these objects passed to something else?
Example. DateTime class is part of the core and I see it very similar with Zend_Date.
