Well, I believe that setting up a web server should not be a requirement for remote software control. In the case of torrents, it would be great to have the ability to manage downloads on a desktop from a mobile device, no matter where we are.
I understand that Hacker News users are generally power users. If qbittorrent fulfills your needs and you have the skills to setup and secure a webserver, there is no need to switch to another client. Additionally, it's worth noting that PikaTorrent may not implement all the features of qbittorrent anyway.
