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.
