That's my main objection. If you write an el-get recipe, it benefits el-get users. If you use package.el, all users (of Emacs 24+) benefit.

You made me laugh :)

You're right, of course, but only because the Emacs community chose an inferior solution to begin with. Let the better package manager win. Don't tell people not to use el-get because it is so convenient that they wont use package.el anymore.
