Review pkgx?
Early adopters praise pkgx for smoothing cross‑platform workflows, automating dependencies, and “just working” across machines—some even replacing multiple runtime managers. Several highlight the GUI’s simplicity, fast updates, and sandboxing that avoids environment conflicts. Users report productivity gains in dev setups, builds, and onboarding new laptops. However, the rebrand from tea to pkgx drew sharp criticism: sudden breakage, inadequate communication, and confusion around expected “brew-like” commands and migration paths. Overall sentiment is strongly positive on speed and convenience, tempered by trust concerns from the transition.
