Imo you shouldn't use a typical Linux distro package manager for project dependencies either, unless you're only ever gonna deploy every app you're developing on that machine to the same version of the same distro. This is not because there's anything really wrong with them for what they're designed to do, but they install packages globally, and different projects may want different versions of the same thing.
