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!

Tumbleweed user here. I have no idea how to compile additional kernel modules. I do keep track of what's changed on every update, though, but that's because I find it exciting. Seeing that update icon in the morning makes me happy. I am sure you don't need to care as much about it as I do. You can upgrade every now and then without looking too close, and be very happy
