>> Brew is not must-have and you can end up chasing a lot of minor issues it creates

I rather chase any minor issues Brew creates than clean up the mess MacPorts once created..

MacPorts has worked just fine for me. Brew needs me to hold its hand for just about everything I install, especially when a vendor supplied library is updated.

I use BBEdit, oh-my-zsh, Vagrant, VMWare, Django, virtualenvwrapper, Selenium IDE, Python's selenium, lib::local, Puppet, Sequel Pro, OmniGraffle, Jira, Stash, git, Mercurial, SURFRAW, psman and a few other tools on a daily basis.

The article did point out Dash to me, and for that I am thankful.
