Default Re: zypper, rug, smart, YAST, apt or other?

I have been an avid fan of smart for a long time (used GUI and CLI), since package-management via YaST made me fall asleep even before I could enter any search queries. But there hardly can be a doubt that with 11.0 zypper is the way to go. I use 11.0 for about a month or two now, I still am surprised how fast zypper got, it really fills me with joy every time I use it. I also like the syntax - easy to remember, logical, yet flexible (← important when using about 40 repositories like I do).

When things get complicated, I use YaST, GUIs sometimes point out things a bit better to me, also I really like the filter-options of YaST.
