@jonmsterling If you are using it to manage your entire machine then yeah, it's pretty terrible... The one thing it is useful for is as a last-resort for sandboxing builds, especially those that want to link against headers that typically get managed by your system package manager. I don't know how many times I've had projects that I've been working on break because my system package manager decided it was time to upgrade `libicu`...
