Agreed. Homebrew has saved countless hours for developers, I can't believe how many hours I used to spend installing/updating different versions for testing. Now we just run (>brew switch package version) done.

Whoaaa didn't know that command. This could replace something like say nvm?
It maybe could be hacked into replacing it but I'd not recommend it. Better to use a dedicated tool that handles this stuff more cleanly e.g. nvm.
I don't think so. In my experience brew only has a very limited selection of versions of packages, which is understandable.
It probably could.

But I'm not sure if brew has everything or is updated faster than nvm.
