Interesting... To get my stuff onto my external server (served up by my ISP -- nothing big or super-professional) I just upload directories directly from my WAMP onto my site. There's no controversey I have ever experienced... Just upload some directories. So, for example, I made a web app that manages FrameMaker variables... It works the same on my production site as it does on my WAMP. So I'm not sure what advantages you're citing here. I thought the whole point was that PHP, Java, and other such technologies are agnostic.
Maybe if I was in a bigger league it would be different?
In my experience working with Dev servers, I prefer VirtualBox and a
full installation of any *nix flavor you fancy. I found Ubuntu the
easiest to get working, but CentOS best represented the type of system
I would use in production.
My problem with WAMP, MAMP, and XAMPP is they all solve the
developer's initial problem, but should you ever decide to transfer
the system elsewhere they take a lot more work.
