I’ve used all these three bundles over a different time period. I’ve worked on Linux back in 4-5 years ago, then Windows for a long time, and currently working on Mac platform. Why I’m writing this? Obviously, because I’m a PHP programmer 🙂 and I felt how hard it is to decide which bundle (LAMP stack) should be used.
