I agree. I've seen many people try to do shared memory/cached programming
in one server and it just doesn't work very well in practice. It only takes
one programmer a typo to take everyone else down until the bug is fixed.
From Jakarta/Tomcat to IIS to Apache/mod_perl. Developers having their own
workstation is the best for testing and active development. Of course, a
staging server needs to be shared. But it's a lot cleaner once the
developer has debugged their own code.
