For FileMaker development, the solution to this problem is to always develop using FileMaker Server. It's like you're constantly looking over your shoulder waiting for the next FileMaker crash. Having that looming fear that your application or file may crash at any time is not a happy place. The worst feeling in the world, while developing, is one of instability. Unless you're in the process of learning a new environment, not that many developers are keen to spending a bunch of time re-configuring their development environment. Whether you're a hobbyist developer or a full-time professional, it's important to make sure your development environment is both stable and reliable.
