I disagree. It's the rpm program which is brain dead not the rpm package format. Besides rpm programs throws good enough hints as in what's required. When nothing else works, one can open an rpm with cpio/mc and find out what it is. Lot of people have started with rpm based distro and have become power users over the years. Their preferences might have changed over the years but that matters with technical merit of each distro and not the person itself.. Don't blame rpm/RedHat. If one does not willing to learn, he/she can not do many things. It's just that some tools will choke at level 0 while others at level 1. That's irrelevent.
