Personally I don't use those sorts of tools much except for a few
specific tasks.
Maybe RH should (half serious) just adopt and adapt (now GPLd) YaST.
Comparatively speaking, YaST is treated like a first class citizen by
the developers.
IMO, newbies will find YaST more consistent, less buggy, and have
broader coverage of system admin tasks than the system-config tools.
Just an observation by a long time RH administrator who has recently had
to come up to speed on the competition.
