The only ties to Symfony are the 3 small Symfony components we used to build Composer, instead of reinventing the wheel. We're trying to build a package manager that promotes code reuse and to keep everyone happy we'd be supposed to write everything from scratch? With mentalities like that, we don't even need a packaging system in PHP, everyone just writes their own everything and that's that.
Just give it a shot, forget how it's built, use it and please give us feedback/report issues. We're improving things on a daily basis.
