If you guys who are disagreeing here read carefully what I wrote, I am not advocating GTK over QT, or QT over GTK. I am saying that the tool itself needs to have a common workflow regardless of window manager. Does it make logical sense to develop a core tool (that should NOT be window manager specific) in two different paths? YAST should not be KDE or Gnome or any window manager centric. It is a common tool for setting up and administering openSUSE.. not Gnome.. not KDE. This is the issue.
I understood that, and my points have nothing to do with the Qt vs GTK version. YaST-qt and YaST-gtk are identical in all parts, with the main exception of the installer module. Both the GTK and the Qt installer modules have similar workflows: they can't be much different, considering they use the same backend and that they have to do the same basic task. As Martin said, the workflow, intended as the operations a user has to do to install packages, is very similar. In Yast-Qt installer: * Search for the package you need. * Click on the check-box to select it. * Click on Accept to install it. * Accept additional dependency-releated packages. * Answer to the question "Do you want to install other packages?" In Yast-GTK installer: * Search for the package you need. * Select it in the pool on the left and click on the arrow to move it in the pool on the right. * Click on Accept to install it. * Accept additional dependency-releated packages. * Answer to the question "Do you want to install other packages?" There is _one_ different step, which shouldn't really be an obstacle for a system administrator. There are minimal differences also in how you select the visualisation of the packages (patterns, full list, ...), or you show package properties, but they are all very intuitive. I would agree with this consistency issue if it were wider, with a completely rewritten YaST, without the possibility of switching among the different versions. But considering it affects mainly one module, in a practically not substantial way, with the possibility of using the version you like changing a single line in a configuration file, as explained in the help, I really don't think this is an issue.
