> I need a command not from the top-10,it's not there and I need to brew install it first, which sucks (this could be fixed by making a "distribution" of common commands for brew, I haven't even checked whether that exists).

Run 'brew list' to see what you have installed, then write a shell/ansible script to install these.

Save script to your cloud storage/source control and anytime you get a new machine, run the script.
