Or
OpenSUSE all about choice, we provide first-class desktops. Desktop selection is a matter of taste. Try them and decide what you prefer.
As a GNOME developer and openSUSE user/member this is my opinion. If we have the two major desktop's supported by 2 big teams why make kde or gnome the default ? There's no sense because the two desktops are threated as first class citizen. Will opensuse gain more developers if it will make kde default ? I don't think so, because SUSE for all this years has lot's of developers working on kde upstream so simply make it default won't bring more developers. What will happen in 1 year ? Well GNOME 3.0 will be released next year and it will gain his momentum again. So in one year will we change the default desktop again when GNOME gains more users !? I think one of the main problems for what gnome developers don't pick opensuse it's because opensuse isn't really a developers friendly distro. I think for 11.2 this will change a bit since OBS is rocking and the GNOME Team is trying to give more developer tools and documentation (i.e. i wrote a howto on the GNOME wiki about building GNOME from git). Please stop with this "supposed features" because this will only separate the community and start non sense flame wars like emacs vs vim, banshee vs amarok etc...
