I personally have run Fink in the past multiple times and always end up 
deleting it in the end.  DarwinPorts, on the other hand, I have yet to 
uninstall.  The package config files are easy to read by eye (it is basically 
Tcl code).  I also just like how the system is set up using the command line; 
never liked how Fink works that way.

And their idea of activation (can have multiple installs of the same thing with 
different configs; just activate to choose which one to use) is nice.  Plus 
having Jordan Hubbard on the team is nice (former member of FreeBSD who now 
works at Apple for those who don't know).  =)
