It's not that it's necessarily easier than running 'yum install xxx',
it's that it's easier than figuring that you need postgresql,
postgresql-devel, postgresql-docs, postgresql-libs, pgadmin3,
pljava....
A one-click package is also what the majority of people coming from a
commercial background are likely to be used to.

Vendor supplied RPMs are not released in the timely fashion that
Devrim's are, nor do they have such a wide range of PostgreSQL
packages as far as I'm aware.
