Really? Talking about how homebrew is pretty painless is "Apple fanboyism at its best?" Sure it's another thing to do, but look at any thread about running Linux on a laptop. How many people are like X laptop runs great you just need to add Y kernel parameter to the boot options. Isn't that a "hoop to jump through" too? Or all of the people fighting to keep their Windows install from upgrading to Windows 10. Isn't that a hoop to jump through?
Installing homebrew is a hoop; in an ideal world, your OS vendor would provide a means for installing such packages safely (the Mac App Store would count if Apple cared about it).
This is also a bit weird since getting git installed on OSX in the first place requires it's own hoop: "buying" the free copy of XCode and installing it is required for the command line tools that homebrew relies on.
