I don't understand how command line makes the distinction here. Maybe if it where just a simple tool that doesn't require an internet connection for its functionality. But since Homebrew is not just the command line tool, but also a repository and build system in constant motion. I understand that as a developer you might want to have insights into how certain changes (will) impact the user experience.

True, the open source world never before had a repository and build systems in constant motion. Homebrew is the innovation we needed to make things in software.
