Tomcat runs on lots of different OS. So does PostgreSQL. My development server is now OS X. So Linux is optional. Apache is also optional with JSP. Since Tomcat 4.x speed for serving static pages (less that 5% of pages in most webapps) is not much of an issue. It _is_ usefull to have an Apache image server. And some people will prefer using JBoss or other Java application servers so there is a lot of choice. I may not be in fashion but my software choices are based on months of study of available solutions. And I have never bought the idea that PostgreSQL is a slow database for a web application backend. That is an urban legend. If you don't know how to design a database and code SQL then sure it will be slow. If you do things right it is fast and rock solid (how many times has Slashdot gone down because of database problems?) and you get to sleep at night. A couple of years back I survived a hardware failure and got all my data back from a dead machine thanks to Bruce, Justin, Tom and others on this list. Historical note: I stopped using PHP after my second version change in less than a year when there was no compatibility between version numbers. Things are a little more sane since those times but I completely lost trust in the PHP developer team at that time...
