I began to use Valet Plus when I switch my MacBook and I had to avoid using Docker during the Magento 2 development, I didn't know in the beginning that Valet Plus is a fork of Valet from Laravel and that the main differences are between them, so I added them in this article to let you know too.

This. We use docker (would recommend docksal over ddev but they have essentially the same features) on Mac on large projects and it runs fine. If yr just running a single project https://github.com/weprovide/valet-plus/ is worth testing out.
