Down the years, SuSE/openSUSE has been my chosen distro, I use others in VM's and would be comfortable using many, but none would be an automatic choice.
I've stuck with SuSE since v5.3. While I have used others, I just stick with it. Between YaST and the polish, it's still one of the best distros around.
Compiz-fusion, spinning things, colourful butterflies and LED fans I can cheerfully do without.
I agree. It's one of the cases of "Let's make use of this - now how about this". At least it's an option and not a requirement like OS X.
That's another plus I hadn't thought of, it's an option. Tried compiz in its earlier days and didn't see it added anything useful.
I agree that a lot of the compiz 'bling' in far from neccessary, but one of the main reasons I keep compiz enabled is the zoomer. The ability to zoom into parts of the desktop to see exactly what's there is invaluable to someone who's sight isn't anywhere as good as it was (and that's not saying much!). Maybe there's a setup that could be enabled for people with weaker eyesight - combine the text to speech on the setup menu with some parameters passed to the installer to enable basic compiz settings that do some good things for people with weaker eyesight, and you could address an audience that would really appreciate the effort. It seems all the components are there, but just need to be tied together. Is anyone up to working on this?
