These packages are also my every-day life.
Just curious: Do they have any advantage still over zypper in openSUSE 11.0? Or is it just "I have always used yum" ;)
Yes, for instance the ability to show the package changelog diff for pacakges to be updated, or the ability to keep kernels instead of removing them during update, or the ability to be easily built and used on older distributions. And of course the fact that it is tried and tested, and not "brand new hot in-flux stuff" like zypper, that yet has to stabilize, before I can depend on it for things like server administration.
