I’ve been wondering why Homebrew has such huge momentum and mindshare these
days. In random places on the web I’ve seen people imply that it’s better/more
reliable than Macports. (The only concrete example was terribly outdated, about
TexLive version about four years ago.)
I’ve given Homebrew a quick try in a VM and it doesn’t seem that different in
functionality. (Except that I do wish we had something like Homebrew-cask.) So,
other than the coolness factor (which I guess comes partly from being “the new
thing”, and partly from using Github for all development and distribution),
what else is there? Try to keep it factual and based on your own experiences
using/administering both, please.
