People who choose to do the development did it in whatever toolkit and language they preferred. Nothing is stopping you from duplicating that work in whatever toolkit you prefer or even porting Yast to Fedora but writing in one toolkit is not discriminating any desktop environment. It might not be ideal but works fine.
It's probably still worth checking out.
Worst case after lots of work the UI library forces some crappy subset of Qt/GTK/text on all the config tools (Inherently such a library will always limit what you can do with the UI) + extra bloat (since you'll still need GTK or Qt)
Best case current functionality is kept (for little conversion work), people get their native UI look and we get a kick-ass text UI as a bonus.
Reality? Something in the middle, I'm sure ;)
