Homebrew used to be my go-to tool for installing packages...

But now, with the new Docker for macOS, I never need home-brew anymore. It is especially helpful when you need to run 2 different versions of an app (like elastic search) for different projects.

I can't see myself returning to Homebrew now. That is just not the way to do things anymore.




Apples and oranges. I brew install git, Emacs, jq, and other dev tools. Packaging stuff in Docker is fine, but first you have to create or fetch something to package.
