> I think many people have moved to macports.

I did the opposite. Macports reliably broke itself every three or four months under ordinary use, and Homebrew's package selection was much more useful to me, so I switched. I also think the Homebrew CLI is above-average, ergonomics-wise.

Granted, that was about 10 years ago, but exchanges for/against brew and macports looked awfully similar then. But maybe it got better, I dunno.



They still both don't work as well as linux packaging.


I prefer it to all of those that I've used, which is a lot of them—for the specific use case of managing the tools I use on my workstation.
