The two things I most hear people mention, either to me or just in
general in the #suse channel are YaST and zypper (or libzypp I should

And there's also comments, mostly positive, about our Desktop Main Menu
(in GNOME at least, not sure if KDE's is distinct from others.)

Anyway, those are the obvious ones from my point of view.
