OpenSUSE searches for its strategy

For me, the way OpenSUSE makes my development work on Krita and KOffice possible is its unique selling point. Only with OpenSUSE does my tablet always work, do both my laptops suspend, does cmake do the right thing when I do a make install/fast, is it easy to keep my KDE development environment up to date. There are niggles -- llvm, which is used extensively in Krita, is too old, I do need rather a lot of repositories. But the combination of excellent hardware support, good KDE support and excellent support for my development tools makes me productive as a free software developer. I've tried other distributions, and people in the Krita team have tried other distributions, but they are always mentioning this or that problem on our irc channel.
