The advice I was given and think is good is to keep this at Identified
developers normally, and only set to Anywhere for special cases.

D should not be a special case, but it is :-(

I wouldn't go anywhere near Windows of any sort. Linux is my choice, but
OSX is not bad.

MacPorts and Homebrew are competing package management systems for OSX.
Many use MacPorts others use Homebrew. From what I can tell both are
better than not having a package system (as per OSX out of the box) but
both have pros and cons so it is not that one is better than the other
overall.

I get D from MacPorts rather than using the DMG.
