Anyone care to shed why myapp.localhost:3000 (for the webapp I'm developing) is something that's useful for me rather than localhost:3000 ?

EDIT: on linux and don't use launchd, so I'd still the port number

It's `myapp.localhost` (without the port number). It's more useful because it's easier to allocate and remember a unique name than a unique port number.
