We simply took the hard work done by Ricardo and Michael to create the community-developed Gtk frontend.
I do not ever want to fault the tremendous effort that took. On it's own, I think it is a very professionally done application, and I hope they continue working on improving Gnome and the toolset. The problem is... well.. I've stated the problem already. Making such a fundamental change in the workflow between Gnome and KDE a major issue in so many areas - documentation, external 3rd party support, actual toolset development (spreading limited resources now across 2 toolsets instead of focusing on one.. this was the reason given for selecting Tango icons for YAST in 10.3.. yet that same reasoning doesn't apply here?).
I see your point of support and also documentaiton is very similar issue. However, the value of difference, trying out a different approaches is very valuable.
Right... makes sense... but... not as a default. The YAST tool is very important to openSUSE. Keeping it stable and predictable is so very important for support. I appreciate the need for change... if we didn't change, Linux development would stagnate. I am working on ways I can formulate a message to opensuse-project that does not diminish the effort put into the changes by Ricardo and Michael, but instead clearly raises the issue that this change was not a good one.. that doing a GTK themed YAST was a good idea, but changing the workflow in one Window Manager and not the other is a bad idea because of the far reaching and fundamental impact this has on the rest of us who now have to support this new tool.
