I appreciate the feedback, but I will close it down for the moment, since it
refers to a wide vector of aspects, neither of which well elaborated.
* the two lists approach was designed by Novell folks and works pretty well for
the tasks it was designed; could you describe your use case(s)?
Other distributions (see Mandriva) use that core concept, and their users find
current yast harder to use (granted, the main complain seems to be that the
icons are too tiny.) Could it be that you simply are not used to it?
Adopting the one-list approach is not out of the table... We would rather ship
it as is for 10.3, and then open up the discussion on opensuse-ux to hear what
people that used it for some time have to say.
We can of course make it possible to enable that approach for 10.3; I don't
feel particularly motivated to spent time on that, but would surely help
someone interested (are you? the base is all set, you would just need some GTK+
knowledge).
* switching between modes ("plain list" to "in patterns") is a very uncommon
case. Is it not for you?
* the interface can be a bit unresponsive after you change modes for some
seconds. Is this what you mean? Or is it that you find the delay of the
interactive search too long?
* what features are you lacking?
* the two triangles are to select a newer or older version of the package. You
find them non-intuitive when they are disabled (when there is no other version
of the package to install), right?
Isn't a Major bug, since users will just ignore them, and realize pretty
quickly their function once they are enabled. But I think we can come up with a
better intuitive way for it, like display the version text next to them.
