I hated having to download 800mb of dependencies to install something simple. I already have Perl or lib(whatever); I don't need you to download it and install it. I get the reliability argument (i.e., the only way to guarantee stuff builds right is to manage it yourself), but that's a problem with any platform where you might compile things alongside the package manager. So, let me manage that. I don't need a package manager to argue with me about what I want installed.
