Nginx is fast is because the programmer is brilliant. isn't it enough?) What I'm saying is that it is a good software. I don't even care that it was written by Russian guys. The code speaks for itself.
As for praising, well, I had no intention to read the code very carefully, but what I been able to gather from it, it was well-designed before being written, and it evented nature - processing multiple requests at different stages in a single process, looks very much like a instruction pipeline of a modern CPU, at least to me. That's, probably, the reason behind its name - an engine.
