Why do so many people use NGINX? (infosec.pub)

I see so many posts and people who run NGINX as their reverse proxy. Why though? There's HAProxy and Apache, with Caddy being a simpler option.

If you're starting from scratch, why did you pick/are you picking NGINX over the others?

Why do you say that?

I've used both plenty and only once I thought Caddy was harder: caching. It requires you to install a plugin that also doesn't have the easiest of configs. I think there's a new and simpler one nowadays, but haven't tried it yet.

I now use Caddy by default for everything new I make/host.
