Drama? This feels like your own projection. Nginx is a stable, and reliable piece of software. It was before this, and will be after this. What happened is that someone who used to work on it now works on a new thing. This happens, people are not slaves to their previous projects. They can and should do new things when they wish to. In time if the new thing becomes usefull in some way perhaps some people will choose to use it instead of nginx. Perhaps that day will never come. Both of those are fine. What is certain is that nginx has a critical mass behind it that even if a core developer moves away to do something else it won’t shrivel up and die. If you are an nginx user today in a personal or professional capacity most likely you will be able to use it until the end of your life with no special worries. I have no problem with you using Apache httpd, and I am happy that you are happy with your choice. On the other hand it does not feel usefull to portray this as some special reason why one should not have choosen nginx.
