There are a few things I don't like about this homebrew-cask. My biggest issue currently, now that the installation path can be specified as /Applications instead of ~/Applications[0], is that it makes a symbolic link from its install location to the Applications folder. Since the standard for GUI applications on OS X is to have some built in update system, I just want the applications to be copied to my install location and left alone. This means it would only automate the install process which I think would be better then managing their lifecycle.
