I agree with the lack of a central configuration utility. Personally I don't miss it, but I have to admit that is not a good thing to have system configuration utilities placed in different locations. A good approach to solve this problem in my point of view is the system-config-control[1] utility, an interface to launch all the system-config-* utilities.

You never see any doc saying "Click Applications, Add/Remove Software, go to Search tab, type "program", check to install the program and click Apply", but "Type # yum install program" instead. So, a new (end) user refering to our documentation will ever think "Ouch! How many commands! Much complicated for me..."
