Same basic features maybe but pkgutil already has more advanced
features and a lot more is coming. Lots of people choose to install
apt/yum on rpm systems even if you can argue that they do the same job
as what was on the system in the first place. Choice is good.

Are you talking about pre-1.4 now? Version 1.4 is lots faster. If you
still have performance issues with 1.4 or other issues I wouldn't mind
a discussion about that either. Or you could just keep using pkg-get
if you like that one better. Choice is good. :-)
