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!

Yes traditional Fedora is useless in that regard. Their offline updates also dont really work reliably.

Rpm-ostree ("Fedora Atomic Desktops") Fedora meanwhile is really really nice.
