> Looking at the website, it seems the general "improvement" is that you can edit formulas before you install; but that's exactly why I use MacPorts! I don't want to know how to install all these things, that abstraction is something I prefer.
You can edit the MacPorts portfiles too, if you want to:
sudo port edit <portname>
I don't really understand why people are advocating Homebrew. The only real advantage seems to be the smaller dependency tree achieved by relying on Apple's shipped components, but that's a short-term band-aid that isn't going to last.
