I never did the switch because I never had to complain about MacPorts. Last time I looked at Homebrew it had a very small number of receipes compared to MacPorts' ports. I ran a fairly convincing "Linux-like" alternative desktop using Awesome in XQuartz for about a year before I switched to Linux full time. That was before Homebrew but I'm quite certain that it would have been impossible with it.
