I don't think MacPorts is any less valuable on Tiger. In fact, I'm
writing this on my Tiger iBook (can't switch to Leopard until Java6
arrives), and I kind of regret installing everythinb by hand. I have
like three versions of everything around and would never dare to
actually uninstall or update anything :)

There are no big changes, but I think they did a great job at fixing/
improving all the little things. The only big change I hoped for after
Tiger would have been a built-in MacPorts and a tie-in into Software
Update for third-party .apps, and hopefully this is something that
Jobs plans for 10.6. Except that, OS X *is* already pretty good, so I
can't blame anyone for not reinventing the wheel with 10.5.

Now if it just wasn't so damn ugly :(
