Anyone who values the user experience over the tiny chance of a security breach.

I'm not validating it as a good practice, but that seems to be the main reason and I've not heard of Pow or Homebrew causing any problems in this regard.. yet ;-)




Never mind the security aspect, how am I going to uninstall the damn thing or upgrade its components (which other things in my system might use) with a custom installer?

There's a reason I don't install things that don't use apt.

There is a manual installation process provided on the front page; Yeoman itself appears to be a Node.js module in the node package manager npm.
