well done Apple! (assuming there are no exotic tricks in the small details)
probably the best thing that come from Microsoft in decades
update: has momentum, a huge marketing budget (helps) and the cost of entry way lower than emacs' one (typescript ecosystem a fair bit less exotic than lisps').
performance is OK, really. i remember more than 20yrs ago when one had to use vi, micro emacs and lesser options because emacs was then the resource hog. at same age / stage vscode is way less hungry than emacs then...
- Homebrew is rolling - always was and never claimed otherwise.
- OTOH for key packages (say databases) it has available versioned bottles. for postgresql one have:
- postgresql@10
- postgresql@12
- postgresql@9.4
- postgresql@9.6
- postgresql (points to latest)
- postgresql@11
- postgresql@13
- postgresql@9.5
In short, none of what happened to the OP is due to inherent flaws in homebrew... QED.
You can't get anything near as sober, sane, predictable, and idiomatic as it IMHO. Just try it.
