I have not kept up with Caddy in a long while, so take with a grain of salt:
- The weird license debacle.
- The weird ads in headers debacle.
- I had trouble with advanced usage that should have worked but were not flexible enough, like acting as a cache.
- The marketing rubbed me the wrong way. It was pointing the deficiencies in other established FOSS web servers, basically treating them as relics while Caddy itself had 10% of their features.
- mholt 5y agoHmm, so you're hung up on all things we've fixed with Caddy v2 years ago. I recommend giving it a try again with a fresh mindset. It's a totally different product.
- nicolaslem 5y agoI don't know if the tone of the marketing is fixed. In the past I found the lack of humility surrounding the project off putting. Now I go to the website and the first thing I see is a giant "THE ULTIMATE SERVER", not a good start.
- mholt 5y agoWe're more confident about that one.
- philipwhiuk 5y agoHow can you be confident about it being the ultimate server when you say comparing performance can't be done.
- mholt 5y agoThere's a lot more to "ultimate" than just performance. It's a cross of many dimensions.

There's no use bringing it up again, tbh. > like acting as a cache That's fair, we have a WIP cache module here https://github.com/caddyserver/cache-handler https://github.com/caddyserver/cache-handler, it should be ready soon!
- mholt 5y agoI'm excited for that cache module.
