I got the sense that the author's main goal was running Aperture, and iTunes (and iPhoto/iWork/Logic) just kind of came along for the ride.
Just looking at known issues in the Github readme, it looks like those apps have quite a few issues. Whereas Aperture sounds like it's just about perfect except for videos.

> As a Spotify user, my Mac opens iTunes when I press the Play button on my keyboard if Spotify has been not playing for X minutes (power nap?). I have to immediately kill iTunes before it begins playing a CD I bought 7 years ago.
For the past decade, one of the first things I do on a new Mac is run a script that includes the line `sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app`. There's probably a better way to stop iTunes from opening, but this one has been very effective.
