I think where they've excelled is in community - it's definitely got a lot of momentum.... but where this falls down is the lack of centralised management. There are simply too many independent package repositories out there doing there own packages and not necessarily getting them all correct with their naming and obsoletion etc. This makes it difficult for people upgrading in the future from ad-hoc third party packages to official packages. One of the things I like about Linux (distros) is the central packaging/deployment system as it keeps things neat, tidy and, most importantly, structured... Just my €0.02.
