Cask is the App Store of HomeBrew. It makes installing, updating, and even uninstalling popular apps as easy as ABC — by simple commands!
It’s only after I discovered Cask, I escaped the fusses of:
- dragging app icons into Applications to install, (you know it)
- updating apps individually,
- the weary process of uninstalling apps.
It made my life a lot easier. And after such a blithe, I don’t feel like using App Store anymore.
I’m not exaggerating.
