There has been a proliferation of local development environment options as the ubiquity of docker has removed much of the complexity of dependancies and performance problems. I will break down the top 8 considerations when choosing a framework, application or technology to enable local development and testing of Drupal:

    Architecture - To Docker or not to Docker
    Composer/DrupalConsole/Drush support
    Configurability of environments and tests
    Support for other lanugages
    Toolset vs application
    Open-Sourciness 
    Implications of populatiry
    Options for commercial support

I will take the audience through a detailed analysis of the importance of these considerations with real world Drupal examples and then a feature matrix of current solutions / approaches.
