I haven't noticed that I lost anything using node.js. nginx is also
taking market share from Apache.

 No, but that was then. This is now. Like Windows 10 older technology
doesn't go away peacefully but getting stuck in the past isn't a good
career move, not that it matters to me anymore.

   Nor me.
   I kinda know how Apache thinks, what goes in which
   config files / folders. That is uses "more memory"
   really isn't much of a thing anymore since even
   my Pi's have many gigabytes.
   I will agree that active developers, esp for what
   are anticipated to be 'high volume' systems, do
   still need to think a bit about 'efficiency'.
   The alts ... at least early on they may have been
   smaller/quicker but also didn't have the flexibility
   or security of Apache. As said, this situation has
   improved so there ARE real alts worth considering.
   And hey - we may see an "Apache 3" that fixes up
   some of the annoying stuff  :-)
   Ever seen a respectable Apache config GUI app ???
   Hell, even getting https properly installed using
   naught but nano is a pain in the ass. The OpenSuse
   config pgm Yast2 (or text based Yast) are 'smart'
   about stuff and give useful suggestions and can
   even do multi-file configs automatically. Consult
   the suggestions, check a few boxes ... saves like
   an hour. Ever set up RAID The Hard Way ? With Yast
   it's literally a minute or two and it'll do a good
   guess at the opt flags and such needed for what
   you're setting up.
