But:
(a) custom properties take a bit more work to set up (longer syntax and/or through the inspector)
(b) put "hello" into gVariableName is shorter and therefore less error-prone and more efficient than set the cPropName of this stack to "hello"
Other than that, I can't think of any reason not to use custom properties exclusively.
Custom properties have some nice attributes, too. They can store arbitrary data and their contents can be directly edited in the inspector. I use custom properties to store long text strings used in help dialogs and other such places so I can edit them easily in place.

When would you have to use a global variable, in so far as something cannot be accomplished with a custom property?
