Ask HN: Best Alternative to Homebrew in 2021?
> If I just wanted to install google-chrome, sublime, and skype, I would use the app store.
None of those is available on the Mac App Store. I don’t understand the argument you’re trying to make.
> In contrast to how it used to be, Homebrew now seems designed for people that only want popular bleeding edge packages, and nobody else.
Homebrew Cask—which is what you’re referring to in the reminder of that paragraph—has always been focused on the latest versions of packages. The versions repo[1] is secondary with stricter rules for acceptance.

Ask HN: Best Alternative to Homebrew in 2021?
Regarding GUI applications: you're probably talking about the Nixpkgs repository, rather than the Nix tool itself.
I use the following Nix function to install GUI applications https://github.com/cmacrae/.nixpkgs/blob/d4b51eb414b0edaffae...
It doesn't work for everything, but I use it at the moment for Amethyst, DBeaver, DockerDesktop, Emacs, Firefox, iTerm2, Postman, Slack and VNCViewer.
What are some alternatives?
