Long-term homebrew user here, I have no blog and find the homebrew naming annoying. But being developed in Ruby and on GitHub made it a lot more welcoming than MacPorts ever felt when I used it.

I also never understood the concerns about correctness. Very few people want homebrew to be an apt/rpm replacement for servers that will provide stability for decades. Most Macs are effectively single-user systems, and if something goes wrong then nuking the whole homebrew directory and starting over is not a big deal.
