In the php world, MAMP on osx is one of the reasons so many newbie jump into php. a simple app, abstracting away apache, php and mysql. you simply create a new vhost and click start.

He is trying to make it easy for new users and programmers. I know high school teachers that would use this to teach ruby web programming without all the error prone manual configuration.
