Why do so many people use NGINX? (infosec.pub)

I see so many posts and people who run NGINX as their reverse proxy. Why though? There's HAProxy and Apache, with Caddy being a simpler option.

If you're starting from scratch, why did you pick/are you picking NGINX over the others?

Nah, their question is why do so many people use it. And the answer is because it's pretty good.
