I already installed ServerPress as instructed in a different Treehouse module and it has been working great for me so far. Any reason I should switch to MAMP?

Though I don't really use DesktopServer. I use XAMPP for Windows
One thing I did like about DesktopServer from the video is the idea of being able to select a default directory for using localhost. You can't really do that with XAMPP, as far as I'm aware :)
Edit: Just realised you were talking about ServerPress... which I definitely don't have experience in :)
