I couldn't care less about polls, but I do care that quite often, when I find an interesting piece of software at github, the developer recommends homebrew. Another point is port submissions that gather dust (see vagrant and ELK mentioned earlier). And although I got accustomed to MacPorts and shun homebrew's alky lingo, I rather have latter as a fallback and not the other way around.
