Instead of saying "rpmdrake is horrible", it would be more useful if you list what you don't like so it can be improved. No tool is perfect, I'm sure Synaptic has flaws to, so just switching to Synaptic only means trading one set of flaws for another. Personally I find rpmdrake works perfectly fine (the startup speed could need improving though), it does all I need it to do (and I would consider myself an advanced user, since I have 15 years Linux experience and work as a sysadmin) and then there are always the urpmi CLI tools as alternative. So lets stop wasting time by talking badly about all those things that make Mandriva (and therefore Mageia) the great distro it is, and instead lets concentrate on improving (rather than replacing) the tools of Madriva/Mageia.
