When I was using SuSE back in the day, YaST was really great for newbies to do admin stuff Later on, I switched to webmin (https://github.com/webmin/webmin), as it was not restricted to a particular distro.
As I recall, it was both a tool for initial installation and also for subsequent (re)configuration. As I learned more and more about Linux config, I got less and less impressed with YaST. To its credit, it was modular, with plugins for dealing with configuring different bits of software. When I started customizing the Postfix setup, I soon found the YaST module that was responsible for Postfix, and moved it aside to stop it overwriting my custom Postfix configs.
