There are two different things: The yast control center - which is
indeed similiar to the GNOME one - and the YaST Gtk modules.  The YaST2
Gtk modules are similiar to the Qt modules with one major exception: The
package manager.

Documentation wise it's a challenge with such differences.  Wanting
something that looks more "natural" is on side, changing the interface
in such a way that people have to learn a new one is the challenge and
that was done in the package manager.  On the other hand I do think that
different interfaces show where problems exist and I would like to see
both evolve to be consistent and usuable,
