Safari, Terminal.app, Homebrew here.

I’m on Homebrew because it hasn’t given me any trouble in years, has an outstanding package library, and because back when I first tried Macports in like 2012 it liked to break itself every few months while doing very normal things, so I tried Homebrew and never looked back.

I had a traumatic experience with homebrew in the early days where it killed my system to the point where I had to do a fresh OS install. Also I find their beer-making jargon annoying.
