Caution:
you must trust the vendor and or distributor of the software. This is very useful, but is also a security risk. Do not use these types of package managers unless you know better.
Why they're good
Package managers make it faster and easier to install software.
This may not be a problem depending on which software and how much is needed.
If you just like saving a bit of time, or you need to save a LOT of time (usually a system recovery or a new system), package managers can often help.
