Also that table would be generated by Xdebug, not PHP itself. PHP's traces are plain text by default. That said Xdebug is pretty good in itself, I've used it for a decade.

The stack traces are fine. You can even define a global handler for unhandled exceptions to log them, and it gives you an opportunity to also inspect every value of every function argument and whatnot. It's not lacking in debugging abilities that way.

If you're gonna make fun of PHP errors, at least make fun of "PHP Error: Unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM on line 69".
