I tried SUSE maybe 2-3 years later than you (around 2003). The first thing I
disliked was: they have yast on top of standard configurations. First of
all, it is quite unpleasant to deal with: infinitely long single file
containing all configs. Next, you change one single thing, and yast to
enable your change touches all config files. Some time after you made some
change you discover something (unrelated) doesn’t work anymore, and you can
not use timestamps to investigate when bad change happened and how. I was
joking about SUSE with my German friends: how come German tool is named as
abbreviation of English (yet another system tool), not German?
All the hardcore distribution users out there (Slackware, Arch, Gentoo, Crux,
FreeBSD) like to make fun of YaST.
Never heard FreeBSD folks making fun of anybody else, including SUSE.
And I'm on their lists for very long time. I would say they are the most
generous, considerate, and forgiving folk of all technical lists I have
been on.

Ever tried to connect any Linux or BSD desktop to an LDAPS server running Red
Hat Directory Server for authentication?
With YaST it's done in less than 30 seconds in half a dozen mouse clicks, and
it JustWorks(tm).
I know because I'm using it in our local school.
Now try and do the same thing on Debian, FreeBSD, Slackware or one of the
*buntus. You'll get a vague idea of what hell looks like.
