Everytime I get frustrated with MacPorts, I look at homebrew, scroll through the pages, and then just come right back home. So much so that I have commit rights these days. #macportsforever I'm even going to try and get my company to allow me to make contributions on company time, which is a thing I can do with permission. I've just been too lazy to call the lawyers. Also, if I can work it right, I might be able to scour HomeBrew from my mac at work, so that I can make sure our tooling works there. But enough about my schemes: I'm not that hot on the choices they've made, and I've witnessed some mean behavior from the maintainers that I've just never seen here. We're a chill bunch. I also love to see that ports and brew are listed back to back in a lot of "how to install on macOS." Good to have some friendly-ish competition.
