While it will undoubtedly work, it is still more complex than the average

Building from ports is already more complex thing than one could expect
from desktop user. I don't think ports are recommended way to keep
system updated. It you use ports, you change port options (why would you
use them if not), so you are on narrower path - non-default options are
not QA tested, can conflict with each other and within dependency chain, etc
Synth fits the bill nicely by being, for the most
part, easy to understand and run. I am already on my forth "ports maintenance"
program having used portmanager, portmaster, portupgrade and now synth. At
this point, I would almost rather switch to a new OS before abandoning synth
for something that IMHO is just overkill for the average user.
You know, this is open source, right? You may pick up ADA stack, I'm
sure J Marino will give you some ideas how to overcome ino64 issue.
