For some years now, I have been using Laravel Homestead to quickly build up a virtual machine with all I needed installed. But it seems to not quite get the love it needs, and I'm wondering if folks have moved on to a different environment or tool for their development.

For development, I just run node on my system. I use a library called Nymph.js (that I developed) that runs on SQLite in development, then either MySQL or Postgres in production. It’s nice because I can sync my dev db with rsync when I need to test on a cloud machine, and db backups are really small and easy to manage (literally just copying a few files).
