I agree to a certain extent but you can't dictate what server os a client might use so I rarely rely on my dev machine setup. When I develop in LAMP stack I use XAMPP. Docker for anything unexpected. Currently I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS in my dev machine ( which came preinstaled from Dell and I'm super-lazy to install something else 😄 ) and I'm developing 2 web apps. One will be hosted in a Debian server and one on a Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Surely, you can't dictate but if everyone follows a standard distro for server hosting (or at least a few stable variants like ubuntu/debian/centos), it makes the dev's and the tester's lives easier! As your personal desktop driver, you are free to use anything ranging from slack to void to elementary, of course.
I couldn't agree more on the standardization part but it's an idealistic world view. That's why I made the points I made. Who wouldn't like a seamless experience everywhere :). But fortunately we have VMs and Dockers ;)
