It’s not an either/or :) I use a bash script which invokes stow.
The good: it’s a little easier that way because stow handles edge cases (e.g. existing symlink) in a sane way.
The bad: it’s annoying because stow has to be installed and it refuses to descend into subdirs. So, for example, if you want to stow type/desktop, you have to cd into type first.
Basically it could be better... but it used to be worse.
