It is in geek nature to fight over what is The Right Thing. Defferent distros have different specialties, and because of this attract different people. It also good to remember that Red Hat is not going to switch to apt-get or Portage anytime soon, because they have invested so much credibility and time in RPM. The perpetual infighting and holy wars being fought over this sort of thing is part of Geek nature and should be embraced, not denied.
