I published it to help others avoid the pain I went through, and to share what I've learned so far. Given that it has had over 15,000 views so far (mostly search traffic), I'd say it's doing its job.
A few weeks ago, I used my own tutorial to set up a new MacBook Pro, and noticed that the latest version of the Xcode Command Line Tools and Homebrew seem to play well now. Originally, the separate CLT download from Apple and Kenneth Reitz's osx-gcc-installer resulted in errors when installing Homebrew, but I'm planning on trying them again soon and updating my tutorial with my findings.
I'm also planning on evaluating the new RailsInstaller for Mac, but when starting out, I recommend learning the hard way to understand what each tool does and to pick up some basic command line skills.
