I don't like putting homebrew into /usr/local, because many other installers put stuff in there, often incorrectly, and it sort of acts as a bit of a dumping ground. I install to /homebrew and it works fine. homebrew bitches and moans about not being installed to /usr/local, but it's never been an issue for me -- probably because I use application level package managers (emacs cask, python, opam, &c.) rather than homebrew for those sorts of things.
I still hate homebrew, of course, because it doesn't handle dependencies well at all, but I'm not 100% ready to switch to nix. Maybe that can be my project for the week, actually.
