If we thought Ubuntu were so great and perfect don't you think we would *use* Ubuntu instead of openSUSE?
For years people have been arguing "copy MS Windows as much as possible", now we keep having people telling us we must do everything that Ubuntu does and in the exact same way.
I certainly hope that all those people wanting to turn openSUSE into Ubuntu won't succeed. Imho openSUSE strikes the balance between powerful and ease of use almost perfectly at the present time.
You can dumb down GNOME and yast-gtk as much as you want, but please don't destroy the rest of the distro.
funny to read this, since Vincent is one of the persons helping make
openSUSE better :-) The ubuntu (and fedora) lived-in project
(http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Projects/Lived_in_Project ) we
(opensuse-gnome team) started is about finding good things in other
distros, not to copy them as if we didn't have our own ideas ourselves.
Believe me that we have lots of ideas, and looking at what others do is
part of our brainstorming for ideas
So really, this is not about saying ubuntu is better than opensuse, it
is about how to make opensuse much better, and even if you don't like
ubuntu, it surely has something we can adapt to our distro
