I came to openSUSE after Gentoo's botched community process, failed
organizational time and money management and unworkable release
engineering model shattered my confidence in Gentoo. At the time
(mid-2008) Ubuntu, Fedora and openSUSE were all on six-month release
cycles and the differences were minor. I tried Fedora first and had
issues with projectors, and Ubuntu had an older kernel than openSUSE,
so I went with openSUSE.

I'm still here, and IMHO there's still not a lot of difference between
the three. SUSE Studio and OBS are better than anything I've seen from
the other two, and the communities all seem to me to be equally
strong. I wish we had a PaaS like Cloud Foundry and OpenShift Origin,
and I think we could tweak the software engineering discipline a
little to avoid some of the catastrophes. but over all I don't think
openSUSE is as bad as you make it out to be. It's certainly nowhere
near as bad as Gentoo got after they missed a foundation paperwork
filing deadline and suffered six months of power struggles on the
mailing lists.
