I cannot recommend strongly enough using Docker for Mac. It provides any form of environment of which you can think, all while running at native performance. For now, we're just using it for development. Postgres on Mac has subtle differences to Postgres on Linux.

So you spin up a Ubuntu instance on your Docker app and do all of you coding and such in there? As sort of a replacement for Vagrent? I may try this out if its overall been a positive experience over dealing with the weird installs the OP is talking about.
