what are you thinking about the .htaccess file conzept?!

I personally do not use .htaccess because 1) it slows down request processing 2) and configuration spreads in large tree: I prefer to see configuration in compact form.

In my opinion the only defensible .htaccess use is a mass virtual hosting.

The support of .htaccess concept in nginx is too complex.

I tend to agree, and I do virtual hosting. If I need specific configurations for a virtual host, I typically run another instance of Nginx for that virtual host and use the main Nginx instance to proxy to it.

This is a large part of why I don't use Apache: it's too big to run many instances of, whereas Nginx doesn't use so much memory.
