TBH, I don't get excited about new package managers.
The last thing I want is a balkanized distribution space, and every new package manager is just one more place that package maintainers have to be aware of, learn, and configure. That makes each one a net negative by default, so the value-add that other package managers don't bring to the table has to be significant to get my attention.
