Apache is easy to configure and change.  For example: I've got the Apache server 
for our development environment sitting in the same box as the dev dbs. 
Recently, I started using 11gr2 in a separate sandbox server. To change our 
Apache server to also service the apex stuff in the sandpit db was child's play: 
edit one file, re-start. I'm not sure it'd have been that easy with the 
standalone Apex listener.  Although it looks like a good alternative to fusion 
that might not go away soon.
