> They were just better

No offense but we are talking about a "package manager" which:

- complained when you installed things in /use/local (where they belong) not managed by itself;

- had a flag to install packages somewhere else which broken half of the packages because they were so poorly written and no one was checking;

- messed with the permission of the file system for no good reason wahtsoever;

- would fail to properly update its own package list if you waited too long because the way they used git was broken beyond belief.

As I never had any of these issues with MacPorts, I might suggest you have a very low ceiling for what you call better. It pains me so much that you have to use Homebrew if you want to have recent packages.
