YaST is an integrated tool, as a user I do not have to remember a
gazzillion names for a gazillion configuration tools. All I need to do
is start YaST, then either via point and click if in GUI mode or via
keyboard in ncurses mode I can pretty much configure everything there is
to configure. No need to remember that networking is really configured
via the lan module, etc.

If I have to remember different names and for different config tools I
might as well remember where all the config files are and edit them by
hand. Now I am at the same state we had way back when....
