Me too. First I've heard of it being a thing. Though I can imagine why it might be so. The package managers in Linux tend to be very comprehensive. It can be a chore to get some packages installed on OS X whereas apt-get or yum or whatever tends to be pretty easy.	[reply]

"It can be a chore to get some packages installed on OS X" Meh, you're probably just holding it the wrong way :P On a serious note IIRC brew is an attempt to bridge the gap somewhat.	[reply]
