What do you guys think about having casks for binary versions of apps already available in homebrew? I'm thinking Macvim/Emacs(the .app part at least), but I'm sure there are others.

Good question.

+1 here, so long as we pay attention to the way name collisions affect formula+cask dupes, I think we should be fine.

We already have macvim and that's been working well for me.

I'll be spinning up more structured docs this weekend, and I'll include notes on this idea.

Leaving this open in case anyone else would like to chime in.

I think this is pretty well settled. We can re-open if there's more conversation to be had.
