TBH, I don't get excited about new package managers.

The last thing I want is a balkanized distribution space, and every new package manager is just one more place that package maintainers have to be aware of, learn, and configure. That makes each one a net negative by default, so the value-add that other package managers don't bring to the table has to be significant to get my attention.



I don't get angry for reinventing the wheel - but if you do, please make it compatible with state of the art existing tools. They at least seemed to have a try at that

Same here, I don't need another package manager. There's no need to create another one. Why not re-use existing technology instead of re-inventing the wheel all the time?
