In the distant past I did a small amount of packaging both formats. We're talking 10-20 years ago (the past decade I'm only deb packages, but I "cheat" as described elsewhere, using "dpkg-deb"). I wouldn't say "deb" is inferior, but I would say it's much harder. I actively enjoyed creating SRPMs, but never got past loathing building deb srcs. I've had friends who loved debs, or at least could create them in their sleep, but I never got anywhere near there.
