Most of the package management systems seem more or less the same to me. They
all have the same goals and the same problems to solve: To be able to easily
figure out dependencies and install what's needed in order to install a piece
of software, and not have errors in doing so. And most of them seem to operate
in a similar manner to me.
Although I'm not a big Apple fan and don't have any Apple machines at home, I
think one nice thing about the OS X software management system is that it's
very simple. OS X software tends to include everything that's required for it
packaged together so that you don't have to worry about extra dependencies.
Also, due to this, most OS X software doesn't even need an installer or
un-installer - To install such software, you simply copy it to the hard drive,
and to un-install it, you simply delete it. It can't really get any simpler
than that.
