My point was not about GTk vs QT and which was better or worse... it
was about the change in workflows.  Do you run one computer with one
window manager?  or do you administer multiple computers across
multiple locations?  If it was one computer with one window manager, I
could care less, but the issue arises when you are dealing with more
than one wm on multiple computers...

If you guys who are disagreeing here read carefully what I wrote, I am
not advocating GTK over QT, or QT over GTK.  I am saying that the tool
itself needs to have a common workflow regardless of window manager.
Does it make logical sense to develop a core tool (that should NOT be
window manager specific) in two different paths?  YAST should not be
KDE or Gnome or any window manager centric.  It is a common tool for
setting up and administering openSUSE.. not Gnome.. not KDE.  This is
the issue.
