Yum has been largely replaced by dnf, which is far and away better. Despite being a Debian/Slackware fan since 1998, I do find dnf quite nice. It's still a fair bit slower than apt or pacman, but it's clean and easy to use. Slackware actually has package management systems, but I encourage people to learn how to do things the old school way so they can learn Linux. If you know Slackware, you understand how Linux truly works. Package managers are great for production systems, especially stuff like apt and for the odd systems with software hangups, apt pinning.

Yes, but my point is that Debian people always seem to cite “rpm hell” with regard to manually tracking down rpm dependencies, while ignoring the fact that that hasn’t been a problem for decades.
