I ❤️ Local. I actively use it in my WordPress Core contributor and committer workflows, e.g. + testing bug reports + testing build package during WordPress release parties Super easy to spin up single and multisite with different env setups. Love it.

My favourite feature in @LocalWP ? It's a small thing but having a button to open VS Code with the site preloaded saves me endless frustration.
