This was my plan for my dad's PC, but, while he uses an iPad he uses for the vast majority of his browsing/email/etc, he uses his PC to do his taxes and the taxes of quite a few other people. TurboTax is dropping support for Windows 10 for next year's edition. Based on everything I've seen, it simply won't run (or that's how they are communicating it). So now I need to replace my dad's 3 or 4 year old computer only because of TPM. TT is saying they're doing this because Windows 10 support is ending, which obviously it isn't. Bad decision making on both ends, but the outcome is the same: I have to basically get rid of a very nice computer.

I'm holding out as long as possible, hoping that reason re-enters the game, but I'm not holding my breath.

Sorry if this is obvious, but when I do `brew install sassafras`, the bulk of the time between hitting enter and being able to run sassafras is downloading and installing. The overhead of Homebrew seems very minimal. Is the slowness coming from a side of Homebrew that maybe I don't see very often?

I agree with other commenters. The pitch didn't do a great job of explaining what problem this solves, so I went to the demo video to find the answer. There's no logging problem big enough in my life to require a tool that takes 48 minutes to explain, so that's when you lost me completely. Even the console demo did more harm than good. It provided no real-world examples of logging (complex objects, multi-stage processes, etc), and some of the fancy bits were worse than vanilla console.log (e.g., the "debug" badge that is dark gray text on a dark gray background).
