CentOS is seriously in need of a better way to find and install programs not in the base OS. Currently, if you want to install something that isn't in the official repos, you either need to compile from source or download a bunch of rpm's from random websites that may or may not be legitimate. (What is this, Windows?) None of the third-party repos have a decent search function, either, so it's difficult to tell whether they have the version I need. Heck, even the official repo isn't quite searchable on the web, you need to use yum on the command line. Example: Using only a web browser, find out the latest version of OpenSSL in CentOS 6.5 and the list of its dependencies. Compare this with Ubuntu, where nearly everything you could ever want is organized into easily searchable PPAs, and looking up a package on the web is as easy as going to packages.ubuntu.com/package-name. No manual downloading of packages from random websites. No need to dig into mailing lists to find out which version of bash actually fixes shellshock. This is not a matter of rpm vs deb, or yum vs apt. This is not a matter of stable vs cutting-edge. This is a matter of the general ecosystem being totally haphazard, fragmented, and user-unfriendly.
