My primary reason for not switching is that I want an AirPlay option,
and Squeezelite + Shairtunes plugin works for that.

Secondary reason is cost. Even though they are only $30-ish, I have 8
zones running that only cost $7/each for USB soundcards. That's $56 I
won't get back, plus the $240 for chromecast audios.

I must say, sync is awful with squeezelite, so I don't even use it. I
have two zones that are next to each other, so I just won't use them
both at once.

On the other hand, my setup is irritatingly unstable. Dedicated hardware
that people say works perfectly sounds pretty nice for $240 (compared to
Sonos). For the airplay requirement, I could always get the $20 airplay
receivers on amazon and use a splitter with the chromecast audio.
