I think that a lot of people have difficulties with opensuse because they want to see another ubuntu/mandriva like distro "that even my gramma can use". However, imo, opensuse is not designed for gramma. It's a power-user distro with cutting edge features.

So, about the suggestions, I'm not a big fan:
1: similar feature exists, at least in the gnome main-menu (I'm not too sure about kde's thou).

2: Even if we put the feature in yast, it's not that great: Opensuse still don't have a deborphan equivalent. So removing package gimp doesn't really uninstall gimp: files on which gimp depends but who doesn't depends on gimp will stay there, even if it is not use by any other applications.
A good example is package compiz-fusion-gnome. It's only a metapackage, so removing compiz-fusion-gnome will cause no difference. However, following the suggested presentation, compiz-fusion-gnome should at the same level as Openoffice or The gimp.

This feature, if one day is installed, depends on mostly 2 things:
A: add an equivalent of deborphan in zypper
B: revamp the whole repo and dependencies organization.
A is cool, but B...

3: Why shouldn't newbies learn one day?
