Serious answer: neither are useless.

I just find MacOS 100x more useful because of homebrew, and frustrating without it.

The reason is, I can blow away the OS, restore a fresh install, and then re-install everything I need with a single command. This is highly empowering: I don't have to be a mouse-monkey to get everything set up, and can do other things meanwhile.

Doesn't mean MacOS is 'bad' - sure, others can get their systems set up however they want. App Store installs are fine, if you have the time to sit there, driving your system through everything ..
