Yes. Any time I need to use cgi's, php, or anything where security outside of Apache can be controlled by an Apache module, I will always default to Apache as the security control story is better. Performance wise, Apache 2.4 using the latest APR libraries is equal to NGinx.

There are also far fewer bugs and updates to the Apache core. I rarely have to recompile anything.

I have also had many frustrating interactions with the lead developer of NGinx. There are many assumptions made and many things hard coded in the Makefile, especially as it pertains to pcre, zlib, openssl and CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc. Also, I can't just point to existing pcre and zlib deployments for inclusion. NGinx wants the source and to recompile the extra libraries each time.
