Production use of Tornado should have nginx or some other server in front of it.

#45Reading the comments, I noticed that Cherokee was added after the poll started. I wonder how many Cherokee users voted "Other". I, for one, am a Cherokee user and a big fan. The admin interface is easy to use and I love that its written in Python. As a Pylons developer, I also love that uWSGI is built right into the system.

Why? Apache is, by far, the most popular web server. And, there is very little to complain about, compared to other servers. It isn't like you're missing any functionality in choosing Apache (Apache does more than nginx), or that Apache performance or resource usage is particularly bad.
And, most applications simply aren't being limited by the web server. A Ruby, Python, or Perl application, or the database, is going to be the bottleneck in any website that does something interesting. The webserver usually isn't really even a factor.
