Why openSUSE? (reddthat.com)

First, let me be clear up front that I'm not promoting the idea that there should be one "universal" Linux distro. With all the various distros out there for consumers, there's lots of discussion about Arch, Debian, and Fedora (and their various descendant projects), but I rarely see much talk about openSUSE.

Why might somebody choose that one over the others? What features or vision distinguishes it from the others?

Edit: I love all the answers! Great stuff. Thanks to everyone!

Thanks for this clarification. I didn't consider that someone might run btrfs without snapshots, but I suppose that might even be quite common. I don't get out much.
