(Although I agree that scripting csh/tcsh is unwise.)

To be fair, APT is to YUM what DPKG is RPM. Comparing APT to RPM is as
unfair as comparing YUM to DPKG. (My goodness, that's a lot of
abbreviations.)
Also, how come Debian gets derivatives and Red Hat gets children?

YUM was written after APT became popular, so it includes what it's
developers thought were interface improvements. For example, it includes
in a single program, yum, functions that are separated into two APT
programs, apt-get and apt-cache. I think these interface improvements
make YUM easier to use for newbies but make no significant difference to
advanced users.
Note: I'm not advocating one distribution over the other.
