I'm a Systems Reliability and DevOps engineer for Netdata Inc. When not working, I enjoy studying linguistics and history, playing video games, and cooking all kinds of international cuisine.
I'm partial to Nginx for a couple of very specific reasons:
The configuration syntax is easier to parse mentally and a bit harder to get wrong when you are writing files by hand.
The core is a bit more lightweight.
It has fewer external dependencies compared to Apache when installing it on a fresh install of most Linux distributions (which translates to faster installs and updates in most cases, as well as less potential attack surface).
The single biggest disadvantage IMO is how Nginx handles modules. You essentially have to rebuild the whole thing to build another module, versus Apache making it somewhat easier to build an out-of-tree module.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
