I think it is good to sometime build apps without using tools like yum and aptitude, from time to time.

It's good to keep our skills current on how to actually troubleshoot library problems that arise; and to just depend on tools like yum or aptitude hides what is going on.

... kind of like when people use a GUI to do things they can do in the shell easier; they start to lose their core / basic understanding of the shell and the filesystem, etc.
