I was using gentoo-prefix for the longest time on MacOS. I never got why homebrew got so popular given how terrible it is. But it was more accessible to people unfortunately. I spent some time trying to become a Gentoo developer for a while and then just gave up because there was no response. I used to updated the clang patches to make newer clang versions compile things on osx before most of those things made it upstream. I think it's vastly superior to macports and while I find nix interesting I don't really find it that practical. I think what makes homebrew more popular than the rest is how many precompiled packages exist. If gentoo-prefix had the same amount of precompiled packages, then I'd think it would definitely be much better for most users.
