What is the benefit of using Vagrant (via homestead) instead of using WAMP server on Microsoft Windows?

I found that configuring homestead and vagrant is harder than installing WAMP. Isn't it?

  • Your question is more about Vagrant than Laravel, take a look at: http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/why-vagrant/ – Jhuliano Moreno Jun 22 '15 at 13:07
  • Homestead will deliver identical environments for multiple developers working in the same application. So if you are on Linux, Mac or Windows, your application couldn't care less as long as it is running within homestead. – user2094178 Jun 23 '15 at 23:04

Laravel Vagrant is a homestead for development environment.

Its easy to install server requirements and including many dependencies in out command.

Ubuntu 14.04
PHP 5.6
HHVM
Nginx
MySQL
Postgres
Node (With Bower, Grunt, and Gulp)
Redis
Memcached
Beanstalkd
Laravel Envoy
Fabric + HipChat Extension

You don't needs to spend your time for configuring web server locally for this.

I think in windows better is Wamp, but in case of Ububtu and Mac, the Vagrant (Homestead) is better than others...
