In defence of RPM!

Packaging tools are essentially a hack.

For the core OS perhaps they are OK, but as soon as I need to install an application, I should just be able to copy the file Application to wherever I want, and it should just run. Any files it needs are included in the "Application" bundle.

To remove the application: rm Application

Next and (I believe) Mac OS X do this right now.
