I used Homebrew specifically for the ease of creating formulas and setting them up so they can be removed using rm -rf. And the fact that MacPorts is an official solution is not true.

Initially chose because of the ease of installation / operation, and then got involved. Reminds me of working with packages in my favorite OpenBSD. But that's all IMHO.
