Perhaps you never didn't use macports or fink a few years back?

They were terrible.

Perhaps, now, they're slightly better, but there was a time about oh... 2 years ago, when macports specifically actually made me want to punch my computer.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I can say, that for me, personally, every complaint leveled against them was absolutely spot on.
