It's not just you... I agree 100%.  OpenSUSE has too many of these
little expert things (with more being added) that makes using it as an
Enterprise level distribution better, but as a end user desktop, much
much more difficult.

Yes you can go into (what is to an end user) obscure configuration
files and tweak things, but.. no end user will do that.  Heck, I don't
consider myself a new user, and I don't go tweak all these settings to
make things easier on the Desktop (server side, it works fine)
