Can someone link me to an article that explains exactly what is so terrible about Macports? I'm using Macports at work and Gentoo/Ubuntu at home. I generally use the same packages on all machines and have been using the same setup for about 3 years. I've never had a problem with Gentoo and Ubuntu in this time but I've hit several showstoppers with Macports. Just in the last two weeks a collegue has had problems with several ports failing to download because the location of the source distribution is out of date. I respect what the macport maintainers are doing and have been grateful to them for fixing bugs. However, the experience of using and downloading packages doesn't compare. I suspect that Apple are part of the problem because they aren't in the business of providing a nice platform for Unix developers. One simple example -- I use macports gcc-4.3 but can't debug because a corresponding gdb isn't available. Somebody in our office just chose a PC over a Mac because the Linux (specifically Ubuntu) experience is better when working with open source packages.
