It may be fixed and perfect, now, but I will never forgive Redhat for RPM, and by extension, every derivative. Fedora. CentOS. Anything rpm-based. I'm not a huge fan of debs, either, but I have never experienced dependency hell as bad as on rpm systems.

Lots of people like it. It's really popular for installing on a desktop configured to run an obscure, but mission-critical, service, putting the computer in a closet, and then later walling up the closet so that the physical computer can never be found again. It's great, as long as you never upgrade it.

On the topic of things to never forgive Redhat about, aren't there other things that are more pressing? Like, inventing a whole scheme to circumvent the idea of the GPL license via service contract blackmail?

Yes, but only one of those hurt me viscerally. The other was too abstract to take precedence.
