I believe you do have access to the files on OS X, although they're hidden away in the system folders somewhere.

Using the server install lets you access and modify the files directly, although this means that you're much more susceptible to breaking things yourself. You also need more technical knowhow to get things off the ground as there are several dependencies you need to work with (node, npm, mongo, grunt).
