Because I had situations, where up2date did not work but yum did. Up2date hung during resolving dependencies or just died without a reason, while yum tells you what's going on (gives you an error message about 404 error or whatever). If you ask me what I recommend the answer is apt, for several reasons: - There's a damn good GUI, synaptic. - It's much faster than yum: For a simple query you need to be online and download new headers, while "apt-cache search <package>" takes only a second.
