I wasn't aware of Brew. I'm using MacPorts. Compile from source when
not available. Does Brew deliver binaries, or is it all source builds
like how MacPorts does it.

One of the great things about using Linux packages (like the openSUSE
Build Service I'm using) is how quickly one can get and install some
random package. Source package deliverers loses that speed advantage,
although its still a win when it sorts out the dependencies for you.

Multi-day installations are still a common occurance for me,
particular on Windows and Mac.
