    I’ve always thought nginx configs were too complicated… But that’s because I’m not a sysadmin, so I have little to no point of reference.

    The Caddyfile is a very simple file, and as mentioned, I don’t have to worry about configuring the https redirect or the ssl certificates (reading and obtaining/renewing them), which is more than enough for me.
    I’ve only used it as a reverse proxy which also helps to my config being so simple.

    I’ve read caddy has better performance, but there are posts saying otherwise too. So I’m not sure.
