Any particular reason? I've been using homebrew for it. I like 
the simple command line update.

Not really.
I didn't know it was up-to-date. Las time I tried it wasn't 
up-to-date for LDC and I tend to change compilers often, so I 
wrote if off.

What is the advantage from the site?

Should I use home brew for every thing else?

You need Xcode and I recommend installing using DVM [1]. It allows you 
to have multiple versions of DMD installed and you can easily switch 
between them [2].

Oops, I got confused and installed with homebrew. I was going to 
try DVM.

Jacob is also the author of DVM, so he might be a bit biased. ;) 
I've had good experiences using Homebrew, although you sometimes

DVM doesn't have that problem :). How easy is it to have multiple 
versions of DMD installed using Homebrew?

Cool, what if I want to use different versions in different sessions, 
i.e. I have two tabs open in my terminal?

Ummm...
All the installed stuff is pretty well organised inside 
`/usr/local`, so this works...

The advantage of DVM is that you don't have to modify any build scripts, 
makefiles or similar. Invoking just "dmd" in a build script will invoke 
whatever version the user has set for the current session.

More or less related: it would be nice if DVM supports LDC 
fetching and switching.
The use case I see is that you often want one DMD and one LDC.

Yeah, that would be nice. Would it be interesting to have "dmd" point to 
"ldmd2" when LDC is selected as the current compiler? Or is that just 
confusing.

Confusing. For me it's much more common to want a current DMD 
compiler and a current LDC compiler.

My idea was that this would allow to compile using LDC for a build 
script that was only designed with DMD in mind.

Of course the "ldc2" and "ldmd2" binaries would be available as well.

You can install using DVM as well, it will take precedence.
