For my Smart --gui is way waster, than rpmdrake, not when you compare urpmi and smart install because uprmi is faster. But I wish we had Synaptic on Mandriva, it´s great, easy to use and very fast and when I look at the copyright it´s even made by Conectiva... One other thing about smart --gui, it only does all the dependency checking once, not with every new package you click, this saves a lot of time...
