When using stow I am just using symbolic links (and directories), except
that I don't need to create them all manually, and I can remove all of
them with a single command. I don't need to modify my PATH.

When using stow you can easily uninstall things: just use "stow -D" to
remove the symbolic links (and directories which only contain such
links), and then you can delete the single directory which contains all
the files.
