I believe that everyone comes from MS Windows to Linux will need to YAST, currently it provides many modules that makes system management very easy:

* service management, what services are running, what are stopped, and user can change their status.
* systemd control
* hardware configuration and provide technical info about them
* many more modules for doing essential works

until Fedora does not provide YAST, it can not claim that is a good alternative for desktop users of MS Windows.

An alternative does not mean it has to be a clone. The beauty about linux is that it tends to work without you needing to change any configs. I honestly can't remember the last time I've needed to edit services or systemd. All my devices work out-of-the box, except the wireless card in my laptop that wasn't originally supported by the kernel and so I had to grab a newer one from rawhide and newer firmware from upstream.

Also, if you're going to configure services, it's a good bet you'll want to edit the config files as well.

Sure, a configuration tool might be great for some simple things, like sharing your internet connection at home, but a) as stated before, the purpose-specific tools are much better at this than one-size-fits-all ones b) there's simply less need to run services yourself nowadays, because you can get them cheap or free of charge from the cloud.
