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!

Fucky Nvidia updates are the exact sort of thing I'm aiming to mitigate with my next OS choice. I use Bazzite on a spare laptop, and I've had to do rollbacks on that before; it's extremely handy to have that capability out of the box!
