had brew utterly let me down for gdb recently. had to compile from source and then code sign it. nightmare mode.

  That's not really brew's fault -- but perhaps they could streamline this process? OSX requires binaries to be signed to give them tracing/debugging privileges (or you can use root). It would be nice if Apple made this less painful -- or rather, if they stopped making native development increasingly more painful with every OS release.

    agreed. if it's anyone's fault, it's apple's. that's a helluva lot of friction to install a nigh-ubiquitous dev tool.
