I don't see the relevance of (4) since we're talking about the bleeding edge AFAICT. Not clear about Homebrew -- since I've been experimenting with it recently I use the bottled versions, which aren't bleeding edge. If prebuilt packages matter, I would add MacPorts (or substitute it for (4) since nothing seems to get Apple's attention) and Anaconda (which is what I recommend to my students). But I haven't looked at MacPorts' recent download stats, and maybe I'm just the odd one out.
