- too much sudo friction - homebrew's design of having a single app's folder is better, e.g., can use your basic file manager to see the total size - updates requiring manual inervention - fewer/less updated packages (mabye due to the previous deficiency?) - large duplicate database wasting space (and think it's even uncompressed) (brew got better when it moved to it API)
