In terms of traffic served Nginx has probably already passed Apache since it's not feasible to use Apache as a front end server.

Not only is it completely feasible, (and easy) to use Apache as a front end server, not only is it incredibly common, but we have absolutely zero evidence that Nginx has passed Apache, and considerable evidence to the contrary. You're suffering the Hacker News bubble effect. EDIT: BTW, I'm not an Apache fanboy. I recently moved my personal site https://grepular.com/ https://grepular.com/ from Apache to Nginx. I just like using the right tools for the right job. And Apache is a great server and can be configured to perform extremely well. I've personally configured and run large server farms of Apache boxes in shared hosting environments.
