I supposed that in an ideal world where a single package manager had all available packages and where broken packages were fixed quickly, that might work. Unfortunately, this is not the case. I have been using ffmpeg from MacPorts daily for several years. It broke with the release of Catalina. A ticket has been filed (59750). But, I can’t wait for it to get fixed. I need it every day. The only alternative I could find was avconv, which MacPorts doesn’t have. I don’t know how long it will be before ffmpeg works again. However, I do have some experience. I used to use sunwait. It broke. I filed a ticket (51700). It took two years before sunwait was fixed. In the meantime, I had to find an alternative. I’m not trying to be critical here. I understand the situation. This is all done by volunteers who have way more smarts and ability than I have. The reality is that people are going to use more than one package manager if the need arises.
