Mac Ports vs Linux Synaptics Package manager

Mac Ports vs Linux Synaptics Package manager Why doesn't Mac OSX have something like Synaptics built in to allow easy installation of third party applications? Ports seems to be a bit of a mess and doesn't always seem to work

"Maybe something like Porticus might help?

Feel free to post specific port-related questions as we seem to have a few MacPorts members here. Otherwise the MacPorts mailing lists are also very useful. One major difference between Synaptic and MacPorts is that MacPorts is only source-based, with no binary packages by default.

Hope this helps!"
