I think fink works best for those who don't really want to be running 
OS X at all.  Most of the problems I see -- mine and others -- have to 
do with fink packages failing when they are asked to use 
Apple-distributed headers and libraries (X11 in particular).  The 
result is having multiple copies of stuff: the Mac-flavoured one and 
the fink one.

My take is that I'd like to only use fink stuff to augment what's 
already provided, but fink is a bit too 'totalitarian' to accept that 
attitude.
