[opensuse-project] >avg developer friendliness?
ISTR discussion somewhere that openSUSE has copious software developers as users. Is this documented anywhere, maybe with statistics, and reasons why? Since I don't code anything, I don't have a clue what might create favor, unless it has to do with openSUSE's BS and/or QA systems. I first tried it for several reasons, among which German heritage, KDE3, YaST2, and understandable network installation instructions for 8.0. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

I guess this is more about personal preferences and history. I can at least confirm the switch of one capable developer from Arch to TW, because TW 'just works', and he loves the KDE preset.
Just my personal and very biased view: Have tried nearly all distros and always returned to openSUSE, as it is - easy to install - easy to administer (YaST!) - supports KDE out of the box - openQA testing (specially for TW) - friendly community - OBS. If you have ever tried to compile software just for different flavours of a distro, you know the PITA around it. OBS makes it unmatched simple! - and probably some more if I think about it Have a great xmas and a happy new year!

The same reasons for me. Nowadays, YaST is not such a big thing for me anymore, and I'd rather mention the outstanding XFCE support instead of KDE ;-) But I like the fact that there are relatively low entry barriers for contributors. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
