Well, a bit aggressive on some of your points @dfavor, and yes, I gave up on apache ( 2.0 /2.2 ) because of it's bloat, poor performance and tuning issues. I now use nginx wherever possible ( my prime market is PHP-based eCommerce sites ), as it's faster, has better caching, and most importantly is much easier to tune the stack.

+million on the cloudflare stuff... If you want a CDN, then use one, not an all-encompassing power grabbing proxy server.
