I use Homebrew, but you have to prefix most GNU utilities by 'g', unless you are willing to 'override' Darwin's utilities by having the GNU counterparts earlier in the path.
Besides that, Homebrew does not solve the fact that for a lot of Apple-specific utilities, subsystems, and daemons there are no man pages.
(I do agree that Homebrew is a great project, have been using it pretty much since its inception.)
