As much as homebrew has its flaws, I don't want to use MacPorts until it supports binary packages as well as building from source. It's something even FreeBSD understood; not everyone is running on 8 core machines, and I don't have the time to build GCC or LLVM on a midrange laptop CPU. No one I know uses Homebrew because it's awesome, but because they wouldn't even consider for a split second a solution that involves waiting for hour for stuff to finish building from source.
