On that same note, people don't choose web servers because of the web server itself, they choose them because its the best choice to achieve what their goals. I'd rather see "Lets go with AOLServer, since its fast and we can use/hire programmers with a variety of skill sets" than "Lets go with Apache, because if we use AOLServer, we limit our recruitment base for new programmers substantially, due to it only using Tcl".
Mind you, I'm all in favor of Tcl, and I've been using it for almost 10 years now... but the facts are that there are A LOT of Java programmers out there compared to the number of Tcl programmers, and that is a decision in picking what web server to use from my experience.
