Each and every discussion on YaST becomes to a discussion why YCP is a bad language.
This may reveal what the central issue is with YaST for developers.
An interesting research project would be a YaST module which is written in a popular language that doesn't use YCP at all.
Unless such a YaST module exists, any discussion on YaST (i.e. any discussion on YCP - see above) leads to nowhere.
When this works out a lot of module authors will also rewrite their YaST modules.
I don't think so. At least I would only do a complete rewrite if there is at least one additional real advantage for me. A rewrite only because "YCP is bad" would not make sense for me. For example such an additional real advantage for me could be when it is much simpler/faster/easier/unrestricted to implement the same functionality in the new language.
And in a couple of centuries YaST will be 100% YCP free. :-)
