IME, since 1999, SuSE has had more weird bugs and more problems than just
about any other distro.  I started out with SuSE, used it for a couple of
years, then tried Gentoo, and said, "@#$%!!  Everything just works the way
it's supposed to!  I'm not going back!"

The packaging's RPM-based, but whatever.  I just found that updates in SuSE
tended to break stuff, packages for some programs were missing, and it was
often difficult or impossible to compile things from source without grabbing
more recent libs and compiling *them* from source.
