I also started out with SuSE, played with Red Hat, and finally gave up on RPM based distros after a nasty experience with Ark Linux.... Debian's install left a lot to be desired (damned ugly then, and it hasn't improved much since)..
That closely mirrors my experience.
Mine too, but then I discovered Gentoo. It has its faults, especially the early versions, but nowadays, it's pretty good, and I don't, ever, want to go near an RPM-based system again.
It is said that Gentoo's package system is based on the pkgsrc system of NetBSD.
