[opensuse] samba vs cifs ... what's the diff?

I have used the terms samba and cifs as essentially interchangeable. However lately on the list I have seen postings that discuss cifs as being "not fully baked" despite that SUSE has shifted to it ... I've done some googling, but the sheer volume of site having to do with these topics is over-whelming. Many seem to use the terms interchangeably, as I have. Can someone provide me a quick high-level description of the distinguishing characteristics?
