The Mac platform was always considered a premium platform, hence much of its software is shareware or commercial. In the recent days more freeware applications have emerged, but the majority are small utilities and not full scale applications. Enter the world of GNU which can not only provide "free" applications as in beer, but most importantly, "Free", as in Freedom.

No, it does NOT do it right! I tried it the other day. It installs stuff on /opt/ and it does NOT create an icon on /Applications, neither it puts the dependencies inside the .app folder but the deps are scattered all over your /opt and if you want to DELETE a Darwin package, you can't, without resorting to the command line.
So, no, neither Fink or Darwin "cut it" for a Mac user.
