I agree with your concerns—at least, last time I looked.

I looked over their code, saw some things (I believed) I would do differently, and it was very easy to make my own personal spin to use.

After doing that, maintaining it, and using it daily for the last year I went back on some of my original choices. I feel much less critical of the decisions Jorge Castro made and it's probably time to compare and contribute if I can. Like, Homebrew on Linux ended up being way better than I expected. But some things I liked better my way. Say, including the signing keys for Chrome's 3rd-party repo statically instead of fetching them over the network. (Writing this from my phone I don't exactly remember how they do/did it.)

Overall, I'd recommend trying it yourself! It's been a ton of fun.

This is a fantastic idea, it sucks to have an upgrade blocked by a slow repo, if you wouldn't mind filing an issue or sending a PR I'd love to have this. Thanks for the feedback!
