We recently came across this thread related to an openSUSE review that contains some valid feedback about YaST as an installer.

Both the review and the comments in Reddit are pretty negative, but if we can get along the not-so-nice wording (like "guided partitioner is a joke at best") we will also find there ideas and quite some food for thoughts.
Eh, I filled that post with way too much negative energy, sorry for that. The criticism comes from wanting both YaST and by extension openSUSE be the best it can be. It wasn't supposed to be mean-spirited "is a joke at best", I just know how much more capable YaST can be, and how much the guided partitioner is missing to fill the needs of more people.
So let's read and learn what we can do better.
I did suggest a trello board for a singular task of drawing out all the modules' "best case scenario" look and functionality, which would expand the usability of YaST for this reason. Get a few sketches, mockups, discuss what is missing in them, what exactly needs to be added, what is missing in YaST, libyui and other components and maybe even discuss it with SUSE UI/UX if they have some good ideas, even if they do focus mostly on webapps ;) This should not stay just in YaST team, because you are experts at a lot of stuff, which means you will miss a lot of issues less experienced users will have. It's a team effort, where team is the community. And you don't even know how many people would like to share their annoyances with YaST if brought up in such a discussion. So yes, let's talk about it, everywhere.
