Not to mention the rest of the world! I'd love to know what spurred on the question and what web server people generally use in the author's world.

Anyhow, the reason I'm writing is mainly because the REST of my answer which is a rant about still-persistent use of CGI by some administrators/developers. *facepalm*

My answer, after the jump, just in case Quora goes the the bit graveyard one day...
