In my experience, some software installs are easier with apt, relative to brew. Also, there is some advantage to having an environment installed on my dev machine with the same package manager as in production.
That said, if you don't mind the overhead, you can achieve a similar outcome running a virtual machine inside of OS X.
- notduncansmith 12y agoTrue on the package management point - I can see the advantage there. Still, I stand by my point that if you're going to buy a Mac, it makes the most sense to use it as a Mac. As great as the form factor is, it alone doesn't justify the price point for me.
