I’ve been using Macports for years, trying Homebrew every now and then without finding a good reason to jump. From my point of view Homebrew would need a serious advantage to overlook the issues caused by its architecture. I also like the fact that Macports builds are (mostly) deterministic because they depend on as many tools from Macports as possible, and not moving target frameworks from the OS itself. Homebrew was the cool new kid at the right time, when Macs popularity amongst webdevs was growing exponentially. OTOH, Macports is still working fine; there is room for two package managers on macOS.
