Other web-servers are good, but not that good. People are over-optimizing where there are no needs. One could instead say that you should use a more modern approach to a web-server, and then Nginx or LigHTTPD would be a better solution. Personally I'd just stick Varnish in front of it and keep using the webserver that I've always felt comfortable with, Apache.
