MySql could be accessed through the network if I have the local tools, but if we are talking about the lowest barrier of entry, the novice could follow a few steps to get VM and edit code with anything including notepad, while the VM would have most of the tools to examine and experiment with MediaWiki. BTW, samba would also be a massive security hole - I set mine up to share / with no password root access (no network, no issues) SQLite is needed because the dev server test with SQLite, and I personally got burnt by their difference (unit tests passed in mysql but not in sqlite due to a bug in the testing framework).
