True. But if you don't use yum, yum doesn't update its database properly of what has been installed/updated and will sometimes complain on its next run. Plus yum seems to do a much better job of automatically installing the dependencies you need, without having to manually do it.
I come from the Debian world, and I always hated rpm, so I was glad to see them improve it over the years. Just my two cents.
