Is using AMP software like WAMP, MAMP, XAMPP a good idea?

Question

I know that softwares like WAMP, XAMPP save a lot of difficult configuration time. But, besides this, Is this a good idea? I, on the other would like to stick to traditional method and install each component seperately and use them.

Answer 1

Of course it's a good idea. Easy configuration means, saved time. Saved time means, projects complete fast. Fast completion of projects means more projects and More projects mean more money. :) lol

Answer 2

These all-in-one solutions are designed for quick setup and testing. I don't think I would use them in a live or commercial environment, where the scalability and reliability become a major concern. For a development platform, a very small-scale deployment, or a temporary solution, they are quick and easy to use.
