    >it's a terrible dictatorial piece of software that wants to command precisely how you use your computer

    I've also seen examples of where Homebrew is basically dictating on how to release your software as well. There was that one case where they decided to delete the formula for mpv since mpv didn't have a recent enough of a tagged release.

    https://github.com/danielbair/homebrew-core/commit/b18f104f1...

    There was also an instance with mpv where Homebrew devs got pissy about mpv not supporting Lua 5.3 and mpv devs got angry at Homebrew devs for asking to break existing user scripts to appease one package manager.
