I'm doing the vmware situation for my local machine (Mac OS X). I built a vmware image for my dev environment to mirror my production environment (apache / mod_python backend with nginx serving the static content). The only difference between the two machines is that the dev machine is running netatalk so that I can edit the files on the dev server directly with the whole suite of mac apps.
Because both the production and dev environments are linux, there are a bunch of tools that make administration easier like ssh for access, rsync for backup, and if you keep the data on the dev server and production server synced, you can always have a hot copy running in case you do something disastrous in the production environment. That being said I'm still looking for the perfect IDE to cap this off. Komodo IDE for OS X is the only one so far whose SVN support is intuitive and I love their live folders (which works perfectly with the netatalk setup). I've used eclipse, however, and have to say that I like their customizable interface better than Komodo's. The price of Komodo vs. Eclipse might also make the difference here $295 vs. Free. I'd love to hear any setup details of folks who run local vmware dev servers on macs with an Eclipse (or other) IDE as I'm currently shopping around. Good luck w/ your setup!
