I agree with you, Elk, completely. I like the idea of my package manager being built with Ruby, but it's most definitely not a real need. MacPorts works just fine, and has lots of packages available! If Homebrew felt like a native Mac app, then that alone might be a real reason to switch to it. Otherwise, it's just another toy, that will probably fade since other more reliable ones exist (with larger communities to support it).

I too am from the unix world, and moved to Mac a few years ago.
