Counter example: nginx, which uses fork(), and seems to smoke Apache while offering features like binary reloading without dropping connections (not sure if Apache supports this but I seem to remember no - please correct me if I'm wrong).
Portability is not always necessary - when talking about fork() and friends you're talking about trade offs.
When I'm only ever deploying to Unix environments, I accept the lack of portability in exchange for features I value.
