Well, most of this issue is that people who don't RTFM are using this software.
Absolutely. I clearly stated "for use by newbies". People who know better (or should) can use what they like, that's on no concern to me. But windows people who decide to try linux do not need to be exposed to things like that first thing. At the bottom of the learning curve they need to have tools that just work. And - at least mostly - that's true for SuSE's tools.
Also, I would say that calling apt alpha software is way off base.
apt isn't alpha. apt4rpm is.
