In my experience, one is just as good as the other. I only like APT more because I've used Ubuntu so much, but I have also tried CentOS and Fedora, and yum was perfectly adequate.
However, if people do have a distinct preference, it's probably because they got used to it as part of their favorite distro. For example, I don't think you can use yum on a Debian-based system, or APT on a Red Hat/Fedora-based system.
