You seem to be missing my point which is that, as a maintainer of a command line tool, I need to and want to cater to users of all OSs. And in fact, I will allocate my efforts more towards popular OSs. I genuinely am sure that your BSDs are a nice environment, but surely you understand how fringe they are? The majority of my users are MacOS+Windows, with substantial Linux also.

In fact MacOS has an excellent package manager -- it's called homebrew. I don't really want to argue about it but you're the one who made an unjustified assertion about an OS which I bet you don't use. People like you insist that it's bad but no-one who uses it knows why. I maintained my own Linux laptop for 10 years, and for the last 10 years I've used homebrew on a Mac. It has literally never given me any problems! I've never even searched the issues on Github for a problem as far as I can remember.

Honestly I think that the thought processes of most Linux/Unix enthusiasts like you who criticize homebrew are

1. We hate MacOS because childish anti-capitalist ideologies

2. Therefore we will not admit that a nice command-line development environment can be created on MacOS

3. Therefore homebrew is bad
