@john_b So "better" is subjective, right? As someone supporting a good number of sites, the advantages from my perspective include (1) getting Drupal and its vulnerabilities off of the public web server and (2) eliminating the use of yet another technology (or module, at the very least). Simpler tools mean lower costs. But I wouldn't say "better", as my evaluation criteria won't necessarily be the same as yours. To make one other point, I LOVE Drupal... and have loved it for years. It's an awesome tool, and stands above many if not most of its peers. But it's power does not come without a few strings attached... as with any other piece of software.
