Personally, I would rather remember own commands for each package manager, or, more likely, use a cheetsheet. I'm generally wary of putting abstraction layers where they can be avoided or relying on non-standard tools for tasks like system administration. That's why I don't use stuff like alias lls="ls -la" in my shell rc file - I would have to put this on every machine I touch lest I feel very awkward.
