#WordPress Studio is officially my preferred local WP dev environment. Zero dependencies, custom domains & SSL, database access, PHP & WP version switching, Xdebug, every OS. I wish all other PHP software were this easy to run locally. Check it out at wordpress.studio.

WordPress Studio – Fast, Free Local Development

Develop locally with WordPress Studio. Build and test themes, plugins, and full sites, then sync or export when you're ready to go live.
