Right, and „very easy to install“ is not true for the average Mac user - 
MacPorts is kind of a Linux parallel installation on your mac, controlled by 
command line.
And Frescobaldi has so much dependencies, it pulls in nearly a complete Linux 
with some hours of compile time.

I’m glad it works, but it doesn’t avoid the command line problem for clicky 
users.
