Homebrew is abysmally slow as is. It is a shame it has the most packages as it is the worst package manager out of Windows, Linux and Mac now that winget is GA.

- yamtaddle 4y agoI've extensively used: apt/dpkg (Debian and Ubuntu), rpm (Mandrake, Red Hat, Fedora), portage (Gentoo), and MacPorts. I also have some experience with package management on Void, Arch, and FreeBSD. I wanna say I used some unofficial package manager on BeOS back in the day, too, and I'm pretty sure QNX had one though I don't remember much about those. HomeBrew is my favorite of them, overall. Though Portage is pretty damn great, for what it is.
- ibrarmalik 4y agoI used to love pacman, but I never used Arch professionally so I can imagine it can have its share of problems.
- bobbylarrybobby 4y agoAmong Mac package managers, I think nix with nix-darwin is the best option.
- saagarjha 4y agoMacPorts nominally has several times more packages than Homebrew.
