I'm definitely grateful that MacOS has a package manager at all. Mac before the unix-like OS X days was like using Windows: you had to hunt for installers or DMG's. Except Mac didn't have the legacy support that Windows aims for: all your programs would break when a major update like MacOS 8 came out.

The bigger pain point for me is macOS still has no system-wide registry of installed applications. You specifically need to keep the uninstaller around for big applications. So lord help you if the app you want to delete isn't a single .app file in /Applications

  Homebrew helps you with that, even if the app was installed without Homebrew: brew uninstall --zap --force CASKNAME
