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!

and broken btrfs systems don't stay broken for longer than it takes to reboot

Not true. Fedora and others use BTRFS too and just dont deal with snapshots at all.

I dont care about traditional Fedora but that is pretty bad. TW is way better here.

    I still find it quite baffling that for a distro that pitches itself as an everyday Linux distro for newer and intermediate users, Fedora doesn't come with snapshots preconfigured out of the box or any obvious way of handling a system restore.
