That's what I thought. I suspect APT4RPM ulimtately provides more power but at 
the expense of more complexity. YUM struck me as an excellent balance.

It's a shame there are no online SUSE repositories, otherwise I'd have adopted 
it immediately. I tried very hard to like APT4RPM on SUSE, but even once I 
had it working properly I couldn't get on with it. I went back to YaST and 
YOU in the end.
