Ask HN: Best Alternative to Homebrew in 2021?
> Homebrew is old and it needs to be replaced. It has served its time.
You are more than welcome to build your own alternative. Homebrew is open source and volunteer run. I'm sure there is a very valid reason requests like this get shot down.
No wonder open source maintainers hate dealing with people like you.

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?
pkgsrc - NetBSD/pkgsrc fork for our binary package repositories
homebrew-cask-versions - 💀 Alternate versions of Casks (deprecated)
homebrew-core - 🍻 Default formulae for the missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)
arkade - Open Source Marketplace For Developer Tools
homebrew-graph - Creates a dependency graph of Homebrew formulae.
