as a mac user I certainly appreciate Homebrew, but I can see why he's not the current maintainer (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26038010 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26038010).

- nonameiguess 5y agoAlmost all of the value of homebrew comes from the sheer comprehensiveness of the package catalog, which entirely relies on a large community of users contributing recipes. He should credit those people and not act like the appeal has anything to do with the brew cli itself as a tool.
