Before I used homebrew, I was a MacPorts user and that was a terrible experience for me.
Been running with homebrew for at least a decade since, and I cannot recall any negative encounter other than the hassle of grabbing xcode command line tools when I upgrade a major version of Mac OS, which is a minor detail.
I get the appeal of MacPorts & a dedicated separate package path but it caused all sorts of problems for me v. the integrated approach of homebrew.
O there was another negative now I remember -- had to uninstall brew version of MacVim & install manually. But that not a big issue either & typically, all of the brew packages are CLI only for me.
