I use Lando these days, and the advantages over installing the dependencies locally are:

  • Easy to change versions of dependencies, so if different projects need different versions you only need to amend the config file
  • Faster than a Vagrant VM as it's Docker-based, and easier to set up a new project
  • Preset recipes for several frameworks and applications
  • Allows you to ensure other developers working on the same project are using the same setup, eliminating "It works on my machine" issues
