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.

I apologize. I can't say my experience with cpan was all roses, but it seems that my experience was better than yours. ;)
