From your experience with yum, how much breakage is caused by python bugs, how much by bugs in components that yum relies on, how much by bugs in yum itself and how much by user error ? I would assume the lion's share of these problems, as with any tool, is bugs in the tool itself.
That's an argument in favour of a tool written in a language everyone around here is comfortable with, or not?
Anyway I think we should start looking at the tools themselves and consider more parameters than the mere language they are written in. A healthy developer and user community is probably more important, as well as usability and scalability to more complex setups.
