These days I'd rather develop on Caddy than Nginx.

Have there been any good in-depth comparisons of the two recently (from an admin/user PoV, out-of-the-box featureset & performance for common tasks). I've not seen anything recent that isn't entirely superficial (little more than “I prefer the config format”, which while valid isn't exactly in-depth or in-bredth).

Caddy is cool if you want sane defaults and not bother with anything for simple hosting. As soon as you get any drop of "not the default" poured into the mix the configuration becomes quite tedious really fast. I recommend Caddy to people getting into web stuff or that need something simple even if it's a production environment at this point. But anything "tuned" ends up with Nginx.

For me, it's that I'm constantly bitten by nginx vs nginx plus, having to lookup hacks to do the most basic things. There's just a ton of friction to configurating nginx from scratch which, IMO, isn't there with caddy.
