Just what is about the package "manglement" you're not happy about?
I don't know, it just feels a bit awkward for someone who is used to apt-get/aptitude on Debian and Ubuntu. And before that I emerged everything on Gentoo.
Everytime I've tried a Deb style distro, Apt drives me nuts. It's not what I'm used to. That doesn't mean it isn't good. It's all about what you are used to.
And why avoid Yast? I think Yast is a great for installing software as well as configuring the firewall and system and hardware and well, everything.
Because I like to tinker. I like to edit the config files myself so that I *really* know what I'm doing. I don't like it when configuration software changes things behind my back.
Some I do like this, and for some Yast is just a simple and just works. After a while you get a feel for what will work, and what won't.
