Ease of install and use, relatively easy to extend to enable critical web scripting langauges (php, perl, python), very flexible.

Many times the configuration is quite complex so that the system can function correctly, adding that its administration is not as good as other similar services and also that I think it should be able to integrate with more applications.

Adding middleware and sequencing them is very easy. It is free and open-source. It is highly customizable making it ease-of-use to build web applications. It also has an helpful active community.
