As a previous MacPorts user, I love homebrew. I keep macports around, because it has tons of ports that homebrew doesn't, but I dread using them because it is so much slower than homebrew. OS X ships with a lot of libs, and XCode installs even more. With macports, it redownloads and recompiles ALL of them, but with Homebrew it uses what you have. Also, the formulas are updated more often than macports, which I guess could be a good or bad thing.
