Yacas seems like a toy to me. It has a very small subset of features
of mathematical significance, and it's not very actively developed.
It's got a few good ideas, but it hasn't advanced sufficiently to
impress me.
It is, however, mathematical software, marginally useful, and it
doesn't have a large footprint, so I wouldn't mind having it as a
mathematics task (this is tasksel we're talking about, right?).
