While this isn't really about a debate over which is better... Wineskin or WineBottler's bundled up .app install...

I know I still have a lot of work to do on Wineskin (I'm currently re-writing the whole configure app in it), but I much prefer the customizability I put into it, to easily change out Wine versions, not be stuck with only 1 version... edit source code for little work arounds... and that I build in an X server.. so its the same on all platforms, not going by the default install... and that it has its own custom Icon and not just run under "X11.app"... I have built in work arounds for Xquartz limitations, to easily launch in fullscreen mode or windowed, and change the resolutions for fullscreen.  Its very helpful since Wineskin is used a lot for game ports...

but there are many differences in the two
