    magento works on ZEND PHP framework

    php is best used in combination with linux/apache/mysql

    it is very difficult to get into but basically

    magento uses htaccess file for mod rewrites that only apache can provide

    and it uses custom php.ini which basically runs best on lamp stack.

    Yes magento has plugins and seo plugins modes. In magento extensions are used mostly in place of plugins. In fact, magento is very fast and light. It is search engine friendly, easy to customize, easy to understand, easy to use. In magento installation is not very difficult you have to follow some simple steps http://www.magentojunction.com/blog/how-to-install-magento-on-xampp-localhost/
