Isn't it more important to have internal consistency in the desktop you're 
using? I think the gnome frontend to yast is quite similar to the gnome 
control center, which means gnome users should feel at home in it

No, I don't particularly care for the gnome look-and-feel either, but I do 
appreciate consistency. I don't want applications in my kde desktop with 
reversed cancel/ok buttons, even if they were originally written for gnome
