It used to be LAMP (Linux - Apache - MySQL and PHP) that power the web.

Linux is the only thing still there.

Apache is losing ground to Nginx

MySQL is losing ground to Postgres

And PHP is ju losing ground to many new frameworks in different languages

Is there something bad about nginx that I'm missing?

I prefer it for reverse proxy over apache...I'd just always found it to be much simpler.

But going forward I'm more likely to use caddy or traefik.

P could very easily be python now. At least as a surrogate for Django.

On nginx, most of the upstream work on new features is in Nginx Plus, not benefitting free nginx. Several nginx devs have been disagreeing with the way this has been done and the way the project is being managed and left to work on forks. People who agree with the OP sentiment should look into freenginx and angie.
