No need for NuSphere to develop and maintain their own SSH client. If you're deploying to a Unix-type server, you should ideally develop on one, too.īeing a Unix machine also means that on the Mac, you have full access to all the usual tools without having to mess with something like Cygwin. The same is true of the databases (like MySQL) with which PHP is most often used, as well as Apache. Heck, the PHP API for things like file access is really tailored to the Unix model. Although the situation has improved in recent versions, there was a time when the PHP manual was full of "this doesn't work on Windows" warnings, and to this day, most heavy PHP servers are not Windows, which means that that version gets less testing, etc. To start, it's a real Unix-type OS, which means that PHP itself runs better on it. Why? Serious question, do you have a real reason or do you just feel the need to advertise your choice of O/S. It's too bad, too, as the Mac is such a great PHP development platform
