I've released version 1.0.0 of wamp.net if anyone would like to give it a go.

wamp is like a entire server for web hosting stuff. MySQL database, php, apache the works...

What is the real benefit over just using WAMP and installing extras as needed?

Seems like you spent some time on the package... who is your intended user base?

I got tired of downloading 120MB when a new version of something in the stack was released. This is one click install/uninstall without losing anything. The vhosts live in a database, not tied to a single Apache/Nginx install.

The multi instance benefit means you can test DB clustering for example without having to spin up multiple VM's. This isn't available in any other wamp stack and neither is running both apache and nginx simultaneously.

The others also all run mod_php, meaning you have to switch between PHP versions and restart.

Ok. It's been a while since I was doing PHP on Windows, but you do make a couple of good points.

If you want to popularise this, you might want to have a brief explanation and comparison between your offering, WAMP and XAMPP on your website.

Great idea, thanks.
