Its a saying, but since you're being pedantic I'll use my personal favorite example -> Having to use mod_perl or cgi/fcgi is awful.

Modern web development doesn't use these, and mod_perl is certainly not recommended anymore - CGI still has its uses, but don't use CGI.pm. A modern webapp is written in Mojolicious or a Plack based framework, and they can all deploy transparently via a standalone server, or any PSGI or CGI server, or even mod_perl or fastcgi if you really need to.

Most people who develop web stuff with Python end up using FCGI/WSGI to use with nginx anyway, so I'm not sure what this complaint means.

You don't have to use either of these. Was the last time you used perl in the late 1990s?
