No, please. YaST is doing fine, why change to APT?

For all the software out there that is not included in SUSE itself, like playing DVD's, wmdrawer, ccze, Even with the amount of software available with each distro, there will always be some things that will NOT be included and that a user would like. Also for upgrading from version to version.

I do not see it a a replacement. I see it as an adition to what YAST already is doing. A lot of people already use apt4rpm and synaptic. This could be an addition to those who would like to use it.

You don't need apt-rpm for that, you already can add e.g. the guru rpm's as yast source ... there are also yum and red-carpet ... both usable in SuSE, but i still prefer Yast

What would, perhaps, be interesting is a command-line front-end to YaST that allowed you to install, uninstall, search for packages and so on. There's y2pmsh but it's supposed to be experimental.

yes, y2pmsh is a nice tool, also with scripting ...
