Easy: "better", as in "emacs is better than VI" :-)

The real question is what makes zypper better than yum (or apt, indirectly, at least for me). The answer is SAT Solver.

Just to clarify, "it has already been decided" should be "it had already been decided".

It was apparently decided before anyone had even heard of Meego.

*resists the temptation to start a vim > emacs tirade*

In my experience deb and rpm both have their advantages and disadvantages (just like vim and emacs ;-)). As other have stated, the decision is made and any more arguing is futile.

Wow! I am lucky now! I like YaST2.

YaST2 is not a package manager. It includes one, which is based on zypper/libzypp.

You technically right, but I am happy to see the end of CLI-based apt* and dumb-and-restrictive HAM.

Never mind what is a reason.
