funny to read this, since Vincent is one of the persons helping make
openSUSE better :-) The ubuntu (and fedora) lived-in project
(http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Projects/Lived_in_Project ) we
(opensuse-gnome team) started is about finding good things in other
distros, not to copy them as if we didn't have our own ideas ourselves.
Believe me that we have lots of ideas, and looking at what others do is
part of our brainstorming for ideas

So really, this is not about saying ubuntu is better than opensuse, it
is about how to make opensuse much better, and even if you don't like
ubuntu, it surely has something we can adapt to our distro
