Homebrew-cask VS homebrew-avr

Using Homebrew Cask for Calibre actually makes the problem worse because the download is consistently very slow for some people. For me, it took around an hour the last time I had it installed on my Mac.

I use Homebrew to install and delete most apps, because they include a zap list in their formula of all files and folders to delete when uninstalling. You can see Parallels formula and zap list here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/tree/master/Casks/parallels.rb

Huh, it was just accepted as the mainline fork in Homebrew last week! Been trying it and it seems to have all the features that the rowanj fork had! https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/141659

True, and there's an issue for that: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/89497

Follow the Homebrew file for installing Microsoft Edge, as it contains the folders to be removed when deleting Edge with brew: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/08f8ed4f738f2245fe8166d64dbc68b4b26add7b/Casks/microsoft-edge.rb (check the "trash" list)

Karabiner Elements is ~19 MB: https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements/releases

In your screenshot, the value you reference is the size of the entire package repository: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask

Your point still stands as these sizes are larger than one would expect. Just food for thought.

FYI, I submitted PR to add Bike into Brew casks - https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/123908
