Once I used brew to install mongodb it was the beginning of the end of AMPPS for me.I needed newer versions mysql and mariadb running for different projects so those binaries were installed with brew. I wanted the latest PHP so more brew then I thought there is only Apache left so I did that.
I was never particularly interested in installing any of the extra apps (WordPress, Joomla, etc) so now that I've switched over completely the only thing I miss is the ease of setting up virtual hosts.
I'm part way through writing an application that manages the LAMP/brew stuff; it allows you to update software, add virtual domains etc.
