I have not heard that saying before... as of 10 April 2025 W3Techs.com rankings Nginx - 33.8% Apache - 26.4% Cloudflare Server - 23.4% LiteSpeed - 14.7% Node.js - 4.3% Microsoft-IIS - 4.0% Envoy - 1.3% Google Servers - 0.8% Caddy - 0.3% IdeaWebServer - 0.1% Percentages of websites using various web servers Note: a website may use more than one web server

5 months using Apache Echarts and watch GitHub repository https://github.com/apache/echarts for all activities. The developer team enthusiasm and unity is impressive. It is flexible, powerful, constantly improved and plenty of examples.

It's not about the Apache web server, and I know there are a lot of actively maintained and respected projects under the Apache label (Lucene, Tomcat, Maven, ...).

I think the project that gave the most sour association was OpenOffice, which was donated to Apache when it was already over and the LibreOffice fork was well underway, and it has been on life support ever since. I recall there were a couple other projects with a similar fate but to be honest it is probably more of a brand reputation thing than an assessment of the quality of every project.

How is any of that relevant to parent? People using something doesn't mean it's maintained. (I'm not saying it's not maintained, I just don't see how those numbers are relevant)
