There is one thing for sure. As it stands, there is an open market for a 'do it all' product that manages CI (continuous integration), workflow, development, SVN etc. I think Google Apps and Cherokee came close, but I don't much care for google apps, and cherokee has nasty performance related bugs.
Personally, I use the following setup: - SVN with uSVN frontend - dev / staging / prod environments (I don't bother with local environments any more), with dev.*/staging.* domains aliases. - Seperate databases for each environment. - WinSCP to sync my local dir with the remote dev.* dir. - All prod.* deployments are done using command line on the server to pull the latest stable branch (with a temporary maintenance page placed up). - Netbeans with absolutely no IDE integration with SVN/SCP. - Pre-shared keys for every single shell account for added security. However, this is for django webapp deployments. If I was going to be building a Win32 based project, or doing game development, I would have an entirely different development structure. When it comes down to it, there are all these different options for a reason, because it comes down to personal preference and experience. My absolute best advice to you, is to try and take 2 - 4 weeks off work and use the time to try out all these different options, because there is nothing worse than having to maintain old projects using an environment/infrastructure which you later find to be tedious and annoying (trust me, we've all been there!). Hope this helps.
