In all fairness, the yast software management in 10.1 was such a mess that frustrated long time SuSE users were turning to smart in droves. Whatever limitations smart had, it worked far more effectively than YOU did at the time. Now that we've replaced that silly zmd thing with zypper in 10.2, we're happy again, and haven't needed any additional software maintenance tools.
