OSX comes with _AMP stack built in.
It's a more consistent environment, less variables to worry about.
Back in the day we used to build Mac Versions of game code first even though we were not going to publish it because it made initial QA much simpler / cheaper.
I develop everything on a Mac, all my servers are Cent.
Very common.
