Homebrew is a big gap in home-manager. In fact, my current setup (and the most common I think) is to use homebrew for casks, home-manager for everything else (and I also do some Brewfile management with home-manager).

Yeah, that's what I like about the Homebrew module for Nix-Darwin: it lets you declare your cask usage in your Nix config.

I agree that brew's cask support is generally worth using even if the rest of brew is best avoided in favor of Nix or other package managers.
