We currently do, but we're creating a new simpler version for smaller offices and corporate departmental computing. The fewer running parts the better, and the fewer things that need to be patched going forward, the easier to troubleshoot, etc.. Apache has lots of capabilities that are not in Tomcat, and some believe that doing SSL in Apache, even with the added overhead of the JK, is more efficient. It's even nice when Apache runs on a front-end web server connected to the Internet and Tomcat runs on a backend app server that's not directly connected to the Internet. However, if Tomcat does everything you need, it's a good platform. By running it as a normal user, the idea of starting/stopping as 'root' and having to deal with Apache's security issues (nothing bad, but every component connected is another component that can be exploited) makes things simpler for our end customers. There's nothing wrong with Apache+JK in my opinion.
