This seems to be somewhat ad hominem. Shouldn't software be judged by its own merits as opposed to those of its creator? (even if this is a big deal to you, Homebrew's creator seems to be not nearly as involved as he was initially). I must disagree with your assessment that Homebrew is focused primarily on webdev. There is rarely any package (webdev-related or not) that I haven't been able to install with it. I'd venture to say that not once over the past 12 months have I had a single problem installing anything. I'm also curious what pkg_src offers over Homebrew (and vice versa).
