Different is risky. Consider, for example, lighttpd, another lightweight Apache alternative. It was chosen for a certain project at a former workplace of mine. Not too very long afterward, significant problems with memory leaks started occurring on the deployments that used it, and I found myself tasked with fixing them. I was unprepared and somewhat astounded to find that lighttpd does not support sending "large files" over CGI, FastCGI, or proxy connections, and the maintainers don't care (cf. http://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/1283 ...) Besides the waste of engineering time, customers were impacted. |
