Am I the only one who prefers macports over homework? And Safari over Chrome? And the default terminal.
- microflash 2y agoI use the default terminal as well. The only thing I miss is right click to paste.
- ilikehurdles 2y agoI vastly prefer safari followed by firefox when a site doesn’t work right.
- vundercind 2y agoSafari, Terminal.app, Homebrew here. I’m on Homebrew because it hasn’t given me any trouble in years, has an outstanding package library, and because back when I first tried Macports in like 2012 it liked to break itself every few months while doing very normal things, so I tried Homebrew and never looked back.
- throwaway4good 2y agoI had a traumatic experience with homebrew in the early days where it killed my system to the point where I had to do a fresh OS install. Also I find their beer-making jargon annoying.
- infinityplus1 2y agoI tried to switch to Safari and used it regularly for a few weeks on my M1 air. Every so often, web sites would simply stop opening after using Safari for a few hours and only a restart of Safari would fix it. I didn't have any patience to file a bug report. So I just switched back to Firefox.
- adarsh_p 2y agoYou're not the only one. I vastly prefer MacPorts.
- namdnay 2y agoSafari makes for a smoother experience between iPhone and mac I guess
- JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B 2y agoI’ve been told that MacPorts was better for some reason. It feels more polished than Homebrew but I don’t know why. Anyway, it has all the applications I need so there is that.
