I think we should decide carefully. PHP 5.5 comes with a new opcode cache while APC always used to lag behind PHP releases. But AFAIK the Zend Opcode extension has no userland cache yet. That might break large installations.
Not only large installations - the userland cache is also very useful on quite small setups, even on bored servers ;-) My experience is (with 12.3 on a new rootserver): I moved a mediawiki (about 800 MB traffic per day) on the server. This resulted in a load of 0.2 (aka "bored"). Then I installed php5-APC and configured mediawiki to use it as cache. This reduced the load to 0.1 and, much more important, resulted in a big improvement in page load times. I don't have exact numbers, but the difference was between "it's ok" and "wow!" ;-) In other words: the userland cache is worth *a lot* - my customer would for sure complain if I disable it ;-) (Yes, mediawiki makes heavy use of the cache - your milage may vary for other software.)
