And, of course, whenever you make a broad statement
like that, someone (me) has to jump up and point out
the exceptions, like StarOffice, Netscape Communicator,
Adobe Acrobat Reader, XFCE, vnc, and ical that came
precompiled and are not RPM-based.  

I would say half of the precompiled software I've
installed came in a tarball.
