The main reason I like RPMS is that they make it pretty easy to update running systems, and to build similar systems. We build a fair number or systems for customers, and I really want a distribution that lends itself to easy system replication. One of my biggest complaints with Caldera was when they dropped their support for a custom list of RPMS in addition to their canned distribution selections.
