Is there any reason to use this over homebrew?

  It should be a lot faster, homebrew compiles most packages.

    Also binary packages don't require you do have compilers installed. I'm slightly biased because I have known Mr Perkin for some time, but I could not be more delighted that there is a fresh attempt to get a binary package manager running on OSX, to sweep away the madness of MacPorts and Homebrew. I rather suspect though that it will hinge on how easily people can get new software they want, included in the main repositories. That is the key advantage of homebrew, it's quick and easy to get software you want, being managed by it.
