Well,
maybe there isnt any reason to change. You are right, everybody knows apache, and as long as apache works fine there is definitely no reason, but as we were running into proxy problems i thought it wo be the right time to show up an alternative to the apache proxy.
If you take a look at the modules page http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxModules you just see all nginx can do. Apache is first of all an http server which can do reverse proxy. Nginx is first of all an proxy.

I just wanted to show an alternative, thats all.
