There are many alternative tools to do the deed, But, users always hope how it works and how secure it is, so, asking such questions is allowed to let anyone redirect you to something promising.

For me xampp has always been a straitforward solution to build web apps locally that use Php/mysql ,like wordpress,joomla etc.

Another great solution is Laragon ,if you want to have nginx enabled also.

For me the best solution of all is to dockerize wordpress (use docker) which a bit more advanced ,but the most solid solution!

Happy coding!
