My experience with them in Red Hat 8.0 (I was curious--so sue me) was that
they are just as shitty as these sorts of tools have always been. I used
the graphical package tool, which corrupted my RPM database once and
destroyed it another time. I used the user / groups tool, which somehow
managed to cause the rest of the redhat-config tools to segfault.

I was *not* impressed with 8.0--of course, I have not been impressed with a
Red Hat x.0 release since 5.0.
