Wild guess: people who keep Xcode and its associated command line tools up to date have smooth experiences. Those who don't, do not.

Brew recently started refusing to install anything if your xcode is out of date, and forces you to wait for a "brew update" if it hasn't updated in 24 hours. It's actually hideously user-unfriendly, but it probably saves the devs a lot of stupid github issues.
Unless you made the mistake of upgrading to Xcode 8 while staying with El Capitan and then wondering, why nothing works.
What specifically doesn't work?

It's working for me but I would love to have an example of breakage to take to my IT as another reason they should allow the company machines to be updated.
