Just learned about it recently. It has received a lot of praise as a rolling release distro. Also it uses runit instead of systemd.

It has been praised also for being more stable and better designed than Arch.

And I wonder how it compares to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed,

I use it where I can. It's sane, simple, solid, has unix sensibilities, and good docs. To paraphrase one void dev, it fits inside your head. Xbps is outstanding and runit is very good.
