Yes, I have. It's slow as shit even on an M1. In the time it takes to install one brew package on an M1, a sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade has finished updating a dozen packages on a ten year old intel system with a SATA SSD.

I fucking hate homebrew.

I hate the fact that the project still has the attitude of "sudo is le hard and we are le tired."

The project people are assholes.

The maintainers are often well behind current releases.

It maintains a cache of every installed version for no good reason wasting ~10GB or more of my SSD space.

When it breaks it's impenetrable trying to figure out how it broke, there's nobody to ask for help, the documentation sucks, and the fastest thing is just to wipe the whole fucking directory and start over.

I could go on. I don't know a single person that likes using homebrew - it's just the package manager everyone resigned themselves to use.
