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.
