You want matches or a lighter to start them off? :)

I don't completely agree. I actually like the package management part of
the YaST under Gnome. As for the rest of it, I've not dug too deeply
but, from my initial impression, I still don't like it. Mind you, I'm
probably a little biased since I just don't like the look of the Gnome
desktop anyway.

I quite like the look of the QT version of YaST. It certainly a much
closer match to the console version, which is something I find myself
using more than the GUI version.

Well, apart from the package management, I agree with that.

Bit more tinder :)

Not quite. I actually prefer the console version. It seems a little
quicker and, with the exception of a few features available to the GUI
version[0], is virtually the same.

That's certainly one way round it.
