We get onto my pet subject again.. lol. Yast wins no awards for design or intuitiveness. It is however very very good. And it works.

Yast2 is in comparison both an appalling piece of human engineering, is incredibly slow, and doesn't work half the time.

I hate to say this but I believe yast2 is market driven, Yast is about as sexy as a dead fish, so someone decided something with brighter colours was needed. What looks good at presentations, neve mind the quality.

If yast is to be frozen out in the cold by it's bright new but very dumb brother then Suse is putting even more writing on the wall over what it's real intentions are. Ah well, they are not the only fish, or even the most interesting one in the Linux sea.

I don't suppose I will be counted as a loss to their customer base ...
