(Sharing libraries is part of what makes linux so efficient and reliable) Exponential increase in disk size needed. No central update system. Incompatibility with other linux versions and software. Personally I'm very happy leaving it to apt to add and remove software so I use debian and debian based distros exclusively. What's easier than typing "apt-get install product" and "apt-get remove product" - unless maybe using synaptic or the gui apt-based manager of your choice. In many cases you don't *need* to know the ins and outs of a filesystem.
