That's kind've harsh. What's the issue? Homebrew was about the best option that's existed on OSX for a few years now I thought...



Personally I use MacPorts.


The dependency management is a joke, compile-by-default means it's slow as hell.


Most commonly-used dependencies are bottled (precompiled) these days.


Except the dependency management solution is terrible, unless you want to compile everything yourself.

For example: https://github.com/Homebrew/legacy-homebrew/issues/35995


I look forward to your release of something better


So your world view is that only those with a competing solution are allowed to identify issues in something?


If you're going to be that snarky and nonconstructive about it, you're going to get snarky and nonconstructive comments back. Or at the very least, you're not going to inspire any thoughtful and interesting observations from anyone.
