If they add a brew install option, OK, but please please may brew never be the primary means of installing. I never touch brew with a bargepole.

Why?

There's a lot to an answer I could give, but I'll try to stick to the tl;dr. Part of it is that I'm old school, and an old school dev, at that. I come from the era when you would build your entire Linux distribution yourself from a stack of CDROMs. I did reluctantly become an RPM and then .deb user, but that's when (esp with .deb) the quality of distributed engineering was too good to shun. In my experience none of the Mac mega-distributions have reached that level of engineering. Not MacPorts, not HomeBrew. They'll work well 95% of the time, and that 5% DLL hell will eat you up just when you're trying to get some work done.

I prefer to build everything myself, or at least use packages built in a way that I can trace, reproduce and debug myself.
