Yast seems to be much improved this release. I was impressed. I went to the 
page of a package that I wanted to install and clicked the package. The 
*browser* knew that it was a package and asked if I wanted Yast to install 
it. I just clicked "install with Yast" button. Then, it told me that there 
were dependency issues. To make a longer story short, I was able to simply 
click with the mouse and satisfy the dependencies to install several programs 
on my multi-media box.
The only thing I think could make it any easier is if Yast was able to locate 
and install the packages it needs to satisfy dependencies for foriegn 
programs (ones that are not in Yast huge but limited database). That may 
come, but for now, Suse has made adding programs even easier that apt-get.
