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.
Have a less stressful day,
