This is the first time in my life that I've heard negative words about package managers in general. What's the downside? You can always just download and compile from source yourself if your so against it right



> What's the downside?

It didn't come from the Apple gods. The same ones who made two attempts to rewrite an OS with preemption and protected memory support before punting and buying one instead. Clearly they know best about how to structure an OS.


In a post about the non-Apple-related open source clone of the non-Apple-related BeOS, someone starts a thread about how much they don't like the style of package managers that come from Linux, which I am fairly sure is, again, not related to Apple, this is relevant how?
