I've used yaourt for a couple of years now. It has always worked for me for the most part, and having a common command for everything is very convenient for me. alias y=yaourt and you have one of the simplest ways to do a complete update of your system, y -Syua
I understand this may seems convenient to some. For me it is just useless and just abstract things from the user. If I want to run pacman -Rs foo, why would I be motivated to do yaourt -Rs foo instead if yaourt only call pacman -Rs foo ?
I don't like any overlap of functionality between pacman and my AUR helper, too, and I use cower for that purpose. You still have to do makepkg and pacman -U (or makepkg, repo-add and pacman -Syu) manually, but that's my preference anyhow, and it's easily scripted.
