Why openSUSE? (reddthat.com)

First, let me be clear up front that I'm not promoting the idea that there should be one "universal" Linux distro. With all the various distros out there for consumers, there's lots of discussion about Arch, Debian, and Fedora (and their various descendant projects), but I rarely see much talk about openSUSE.

Why might somebody choose that one over the others? What features or vision distinguishes it from the others?

Edit: I love all the answers! Great stuff. Thanks to everyone!

I dont like that Yast competes with the KDE Settings, but having everything in a GUI is key and distros should fork it.

Not that much, Yast deals with the system, the Kde settings deal with the desktop. There isn't that much overlap.

I think there is. KDE settings deal with Bluetooth, devices etc. Discover deals with repos and more.

Every time I've tried to use discover it was a mess. I think you can use it if you use nothing else, or you're better off forgetting about it entirely.
