I agree with you, but unfortunately "just run this command" is how the brew page works, so mac users are trained to just do that, and I can believe they did it without looking (although that command would have me asking questions as well) -
Why the hell would you code (or do any serious work) on a Mac?
The only alternative is windows.
The worst part, honestly, is that when you ctrl+D a terminal, it says "shell has exited," and then the window stays open.
Whoever made this decision should be flogged.
