We seem to have pretty similar preferences/a similar setup. :-) Some notes and comments:
I have a Brewfile for Homebrew in my dot files repository. Makes it easier to get all the packages I want back. It also works with Casks, so you can make Homebrew the first thing to install and then take it from there :-)
I use SizeUp instead of Spectacle because old habits die hard (been using it since 2010 or so). I really should look at some of the newer alternatives.
Version managers: Anaconda as Python distribution (I'm gonna install those ML packages anyway, so might as well have them from the beginning) and n for Node version management. rbenv is my Ruby favorite too. Lately I've been considering unifying everything with asdf, but haven't taken the plunge yet.
The ZSH that comes with macOS isn't always the newest, so I generally install that via Homebrew too.
I also use SizeUp, and honestly I have no reason to change. It works for what I need it for, and I bought it (kind of a long time ago) so I don't get the license pop-up that the free version has.
Same here, I must have bought it in 2010 or 2011. But the one piece of software I really wouldn't wanna miss on my Mac is Alfred. I think I bought it 3 times by now (they offer a lifetime license, but I just buy the power pack for every new major release to support them).
You ain't missing anything by using SizeUp instead of Spectacle. Spectacle is just a free version of Sizeup with less customization options. Also, Spectacle hasn't been updated for almost 2 years and those Mojave issues are starting to pile up.
I tried to replace Spectacle with Veeer it's newer, shinier, and also free; but lacks features like moving windows between screens.
Wasn't aware of Brewfile. Thanks for sharing Michael! I have a script that sets up my Mac and had an array of brew apps that I install, gist.github.com/nickytonline/729fc.... When I get a chance, I'll update it.

Spectacle it's awesome and Free. That's why I think it's most installed than SizeUp.
