Yup. Of course, nostalgia is all very well :-) but, what is that makes openSUSE a truly great product? (apart from the people)
It is a question I don't make myself anymore :-) I made a decision long ago (in my case, a magazine said it was the easiest to use). Now, it is simply easier to continue using it, while there are no good reasons to change (there have been temptations along the way, though). There are reasons to continue, but I don't think consciously about them :-)
YaST KDE ease of installation
For me, it's also that openSUSE is complete, including more exotic stuff - root on NFS, iSCSI, FCoE, high-availability, firewall. I did once try to get Ubuntu to boot from iSCSI or even just mount an iSCSI drive, it was fun but exhausting. With openSUSE, overall, things just work.
Yes, must things work :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
