I recently bought a tablet with a dock and Win 8 Pro (knock it all you want, but it's actually pretty nice). I was trying to get it set up for some on-the-go web coding, so I installed Sublime Text, FileZilla, Scout, Photoshop, and WAMP. After struggling, like I always do with getting WAMP to work, I remembered when I used to use WebMatrix. It's a solid editor, but I like Sublime better, which is why I switched. Thing was, I never had to dork around with WAMP or any other server. I opened WM, clicked the project I was working and it automatically fired up a server with PHP and MySQL.
So, I guess what I'm getting at is, you could easily dump WAMP/XAMPP and just use WM for your server software, regardless of what editor you use. Now, I fire up WM, minimize it, open Sublime and go to town. Even converted my full-size laptop to the same process.
Now, obviously, this will only work for dev purposes, but it's way smoother than slamming your head against WAMP for 2 hours.
