Pros
Pro Solidity similar to SUSE Linux Enterprise
A substantial portion of the package base for openSUSE Leap, the new "non-rolling" release, consists of the work shared with SUSE Linux Enterprise. The consequential mash of reliability and up-to-date software result in openSUSE being a very solid distribution for any backend developer.
Pro Subject to extensive testing
Every package gets pumped through intensive integration tests in virtual environments which ensure your system will maintain a confusingly stable state, update after update.
