Exactly. It is so simple to do `brew install figma` or whatever App you want. Most bigger apps have ready casks to install. Then I have a startup job that does `brew bundle dump --file=- > $ICLOUD/Brewfile`. That way I get a backup list of all software installed with brew so it is simple to install again if I migrate to a new machine (without restoring a Time Machine backup).

Edit: Obviously for users not familiar with command line programs brew isn't that "easy". But for command line people this setup is quite nice.

Raycast has an excellent extension to manage brew installs and upgrades without any cli on macs
