In my experience, cask is too fragile for its original use of installing binaries. Issues include
* applications expecting to be installed to /Applications
* applications with weird installation requirements/dependencies
* self-updater conflicting with cask's installation settings
* problems with detecting an installation (and uninstalling it) because the updated version's recipe installs differently or something.
For these reasons I now prefer to install applications by their official/expected/supported installation method.
On the other hand, I find brew very useful.
