I think people rely on apache 1.3 stability and security. many people consider httpd-2.0 as too young and don't try to understand why it's better.It is stable. I'm sure you can get it to segfault if you tried, but the same goes with 1.3.
Does somebody have some percentage about 1.3 use and 2.0 ?
I don't think 1.3 is still here because of modules, there is too many modules and too many kind to use apache (perl, php, proxy, cache + deflate, etc...)
Is php not stable with 2.0 prefork ???
But what i don't understand, is how people can say apache 1.3 is better to code with, than apache 2.0.
filters are so usefull. it's a pleasure everyday to code with apache 2.0 :]
I never thought it was a matter of coding, It's more a matter of porting.
From the conversations I hear/see it is the module developer who runs 1.3 and is quite happy with it for their needs.
The other factor I see in the 'auth' category of modules is that the API has changed radically in 2.1, and so some people have just skipped 2.0 for their modules.

I'm waiting for the people still using v2.0 when 2.2 goes stable.
