Agree, makes sense

As I'm not really a macOS user, what's the main reason to choose MacPorts over Homebrew?

@teracow: The main reason for preferring MacPorts (at least for me) is the way in which packages are installed. With MacPorts everything is placed in a self created directory named /opt, not interfering with any system placed directories. This is helpful for a number of reasons, although mainly it's simple to install and uninstall packages easily. MacPorts works more like a traditional package manager without all the convoluted lingo or messy package installations that I've observed with Homebrew. Having to tap a keg, use a cask, or install packages in a place named "cellar" is really not my thing — it's unnecessary fluff really. There are a lot of people who prefer one over the other of course, and I have no issues with that, however, allowing a choice of which one to use would definitely be nice option.
