I've had the experience in the reverse order, but with the same conclusion.

First lot of web server configuration I had to do was Tomcat. After that, IIS 6 through to 8.

Compared to any of those those, writing Apache httpd config actually seems pretty straightforward.

But yeah, Nginx is a lot plainer and I pick it most of the time. Usual time when I don't is if deploying someone else's software with complicated rules and don't have the time to port them.

Damn Tomcat config is godawful gibberish. Seems to be a running theme in Javaland.
