On: Our audit of Homebrew

[arprocter]

It'd be nice if brew was a little more apt-y, and all the beer nomenclature is a bit silly

My first exposure to Mac package stuff was fink in the early aughts - compiling everything on a Pismo G3 was pretty slow going

Switch to MacPorts. It supports precompiled packages, doesn’t take over the world and force anything on you the same way Homebrew does.

I’m really disappointed in how Homebrew took a lot of attention away from the existing package managers, made a bunch of terrible decisions related to packaging and flexibility and genera Unix philosophy, and then ate the world.
