Thanks for that, got Mamp pro 4 working for now but will be giving valet a try soon as the docs/features look very appealing!

<p>I've been a long time user of Mamp Pro, but I'm getting an error using v3 with Craft3, due to needing to update to Mamp Pro 4, however after some hrs trying to update to Mamp 4, I can't get mySQL to start and therefore wondered what alternatives to Mamp other devs use – which isn't overly complex?</p>

I've literally just moved from Mamp 3 to 4 in the last hour. All seems fine. 
Did you run the Mysql upgrade from Mamp 4's Tools menu?

I can't get that far – MySQL won't start and I the whole interface (all buttons) is non-clickable

I got Mamp Pro 4 to work in the end, I have to 'quit & save' to save settings but I can live with that – to retain familiarity of the Mamp gui
