Honestly if not for the convoluted Linux FS layout, debs would be pretty serviceable and aren't really different to the Windows solution. The fs layout makes installations way too fickle to clashing with other applications.

That and dependency hell, which distros should have never been allowed to touch beyond the core dependencies required to get your desktop running.
