In your opinion, which FOSS software is by many considered "old" or "obsolete", but are in fact, in your opinion, in many ways better than the newer alternatives? (feddit.dk)

Apache. I get why nginx is the new hotness, but apache/mod_event still slaps.

Nginx is FLOSS, too so you'd need to compare Apache to IIS and that is just unfair.

I think nginx is the better web server but what do I know, I mostly use python3 -m http.server for my immediate needs.
