Did I hit a nerve of some zealous Nginx user when mentioning the fact that Nginx isn't a silver bullet? :) I'm sure you can downvote this comment, too! Knock yourself out!

I don't believe the comments had anything to do with being a zealot, but instead a curiosity: being HN, it is useful to know why a user made a technical decision.

If you could elaborate on the problem, you're much less likely to get downvoted.

No you just gave a handwave "Nginx is not all that" without supporting the assertion. You would get the same response posting "Nginx is the greatest thing since sliced bread and you should ditch httpd."
I wasn't aware that this was a Q&A or issues tracker for Nginx, which is why I never had the intent of bringing details up. My apologies for posting these things in the official Nginx resources. The sarcasm is on the house.
(You're still [dead]. Look at HN from a non-logged-in computer.)
(Your new posts appear [dead]. You may want to petition pg and/or make a new account.)
I think it's because you didn't expand on the problems you experienced sufficiently.
