Once you know the tools, apt and dnf blend in together. Where dnf shines compared to apt is discoverability. The help is decent. There's no separate apt-cache, and there are few reasons to use rpm directly. Dnf also offers a plug-and-play installation of debugging symbols via `dnf debuginfo-install`, which have always been a pain for me. Oh, and `dnf install pkg-config(package)` is nice too.
