just to add my cent :
dependency IS an issue for newcomers.
I don't know much about opensuse's philosophy and strategy concerning
the every-day user, but there is definitely a barrier.
And it does actually make a difference between *ubuntu and suse.
see the figures (distrowatch, googletrends).

And just for curiosity, IF development and factory repos together are
ill-advised (and IF this fact regarded as common sense) , is it too
much to expect that the every-day user is warned when he enables both
in Yast?

By the way, Im using both distros. I prefer suse when it is configured properly.
But I realized that solving problems is much easier in ubuntu (e.g.
dual screen, wlan, sound issues).
Also, I have a few friends turning back to xp after suse. but not after ubuntu.
It has nothing to do with free CDs.
go and figure.
