    My favourite is pacman. I actually like the syntax. It feels very UNIX-y.

    I’m a fan of the refresh (-y) and upgrade (-u) options being separate flags that can be used separately or together. I also find pacman’s output to be very clean and readable.

    Whenever I use apt, I find it slightly annoying that I need to invoke update and upgrade (and dist-upgrade) separately. I also find apt spits out a lot of unnecessary output, resulting in an unreadable wall of text.

    I haven’t used yum/dnf much, but the few times I used it I was slightly annoyed that it seems to insist on refreshing the repositories every time it runs.
