Just to clear some things up, composer is *not* a package manager. It is
actually pretty terrible at being a package manager, mainly because it's
not supposed to be one. The purpose of composer is solely dependency
management.

Because of that, using it as a package manager requires using some hackish
techniques as mentioned above, where you require the MW core as a library
(even though it isn't one). That's the main reason I'd consider not using
composer.
