I will never use it, at least for any system that has a decent native package manager. As I have written before, it is a bad idea to give multiple agents (e.g. gem and yum) overlapping management responsibilities. If it doesn't interfere with anything else, though, nor take substantial effort to maintain then I won't vote against it.
