<debian user> This is true.  They're pretty equal and some things are
easier with rpm.  It's apt that makes the difference on Debian.  Red Hat
offers no real equivalent (the Red Hat Network is *not* the same thing,
nor is rpmfind), though apt-rpm can be installed on Red Hat.  When Red
Hat offer a proper package management tool and the ability to upgrade a
production system from one major version to the next without a reboot,
I'll be impressed.

Most of the Linux distributions are essentially equivalent, each
offering its own minor advantages.  An individual's choice of
distribution is as much a matter of taste and style as anything else.
If you hear someone who prefers distro X cursing distro Y for its
stupid, broken behaviour, you're usually listening to someone who hasn't
bothered to read the documentation properly.
