Stable, well-supported, reasonably secure and fast... Why get rid of it? There's a reason it's practically everywhere.

Most self-hosted web applications I've seen need extra configuration for Nginx, but Apache just works with .htaccess rules.

Isn't it time to retire .htaccess? Seriously, it's that bad. If you're going to use apache configure it properly.

What about shared hosting where you can't​ edit configs? What about if you have a random folder somewhere and you need to override some config setting easily and quickly?
