    Free and powerful. There are lots of options but it's still clear. Maybe a bit slow sometimes.

    I like the idea of having different stacks and CMSes grouped into the same Bitnami folder on my hard drive, with subfolders for each stack/CMS. It doesn't come with a user-friendly taskbar icon menu to manage everything, though, like in WampServer.
