Most Popular Local Web-Server for Laravel: Twitter Mini-Poll

Founder of QuickAdminPanel
A few days ago there was a question asked on Twitter: “Laravel community, what do you use for local development environment?” – with ~50 replies, I decided to count the answers and here’s the chart.
First, the original tweet:
I have a question for the community of @laravelphp and especially for my teachers @PovilasKorop @JuanDMeGon @bitfumes @drehimself @calebporzio @christophrumpel… what do you use for local development environment when running your apps, xammp? Docker? Homestad?

And here’s the chart of answers how many times some system was mentioned:
In addition, 3 people mentioned just using “artisan serve” and 1 person went for MAMP Pro.
So, as you can see, pretty clear winner is Laravel Valet. Why? Here are some quotes from the Twitter replies:
- “Valet for convenience”
- “Laravel Valet. Super easy.”
- “Valet mainly because it’s so fast”
Other people who voted for Valet didn’t really specify why, they just seem to love it, unconditionally.
Of course, the amount of answers is quite small to make statistical conclusions from it, but I think it represents community choice pretty accurately. What do you think?
Thanks to Axel for raising this discussion on Twitter, and to everyone who replied.

How it works:
1. Generate panel online
No coding required, you just choose menu items.
2. Download code & install locally
Install with simple "composer install" and "php artisan migrate".
3. Customize anything!
We give all the code, so you can change anything after download.
What this really tells us is that Laravel developers are mostly rich enough to afford Mac’s.
Well, if you use Linux you should definitely check valet for Linux. Couldn’t be more satisfied
I work on windows with xampp. I use no tools of sort.
LOL.
Since years I have a full native Apache/PHP/MySQL setup in my PC..
Initially on Windows an now on Linux.
Always being the black sheep.
