I find your statement laughable. Brew and Debian's package manager aren't even comparable.



It's easier to create packages for Homebrew but, as I'd be the first to admit, `apt-get` has far more advanced dependency management and resolution. They both have their strengths and weaknesses.


apt-get has a wider scope but, in some cases, what it is needed for is to deploy a simple application, and there's no simple way to do that with Debian packages.
