Apt and yum are not very different. In the early 2000s, before yum Debian was a clear choice for packaging alone, but things have changed these days.

(I'm an Arch guy these days, but hey...)

Every time I set up a server with yum I have to look up how to install development tools, groupinstall just doesn't really click with me.

Pacman and apt are both better imo, and apt-get build-dep is really great when you need to do a source install but can still use normal dependencies.

(I do use aptitude now instead of apt though)
