- thisislife2 2y agoWhy would they when Homebrew was amateurish compared to MacPorts built by Apple engineers? (For e.g. it didn't follow accepted unix conventions or macOs conventions on installing libraries for a long time. See this discussion thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34818192 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34818192 and this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34844292 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34844292 for more details). But credit where credit due - the founder is a better marketer than developer and more people know about Homebrew than MacPorts.
