This, absolutely!

Apple should close this gap and I am puzzled why they have not done that yet. Because even for iOS development people need things beyond the xcode toolcahin and they resort to either of the available options. Homebrew is just one of them.

Not only cli app store but the mac app store also badly needs some love.
