I don't have Muon installed, but I agree that a good and versatile GUI package manager is a necessity in a good desktop distro and Muon seems to fit that description very well...and is actively developed so it should only get better (and luckily it's not a Canonical project ).

Oh...and OBS seems like an example of a build service done right.
