Contributing to the buzz currently going around about PHP and Apache 2, John Coggeshall has a new posting on his blog with his "two cents".

The question to me when deciding between Apache 1.3 and Apache 2.0 is basically this: Why would I want to switch? This is a pretty big common theme around the PHP camp. I mean seriously, what does it really buy me? I'm going to go through the Apache 2.0 feature set point-by-point -- I absolutely welcome the gentlemen from the Apache camp to comment on my conclusions and show me why I am incorrect.

He talks about several of the new features of Apache 2 and how, honestly, he just can't see the fuss. Things such as unix threading, a new build system, a new Apache API, and IPv6 support just don't seem relevant to the development work that he's doing from day to day.

Oh, and of course: I'm leaving the door wide open here for everyone to jump all over me and tell me off, tell me why Apache 2.0 rocks, and why I'm a moron for not using it. In fact, I want you to do that, go ahead!
