I assume you install different browser than Safari.
So is it frustrating that you have to install 3rd party browser?
Come on homebrew is awesome. Install is easy and then you just point brew bundle to file with everything you need, go for coffe and your computer is ready.

That’s not really the same because Firefox isn’t a core part of an OS and Safari is actually a pretty decent browser in its own right.
Whereas a package manager should be a core part of an OS (just as it is on any other UNIX-like OS) and OSX is, in my personal opinion, crippled without running homebrew (or similar)

Homebrew is ok. It’s not the best example of a package manager out there but it does it’s job well. However my point wasn’t about homebrew specifically but rather that OSX should have been built with a proper package manager from the outset. And no, the App Store doesn’t count because that’s completely inadequate in almost every department.

Apple would disagree. They quite clearly believe that all software should be able to fit inside their sandboxed app store model. I think they're completely wrong about this, but that's beside the point.
Of course Apple would disagree. It’s hardly surprising that companies will defend their income streams even when those products are actually pretty rubbish.
