RPMs are no bad invention. The only problem is that the RPM-based
distributions lacked a decent frontend for a long time. Most users where also
informed that "rpm -i" was the preferred method to install software.

Think of RPM vs Ebuild. How many times do you install an ebuild using "ebuild
<ebuildfile> merge"?
