Fedora is also the only mainstream distro I ever gave up on, admittedly 5 or so years ago but still.
Why?

Graphics failed in KDE spin and I was unable to figure out why.
Ah okay. Yeah, Fedora is really focused on GNOME :/

That's really sad to hear.. if you think the GNOME 3 UI is buggy, childish, opinionated, and hard to customize (I've yet to get a downloaded theme to work right the first time) Fedora is a non-starter.
Which is really too bad. It's the only RPM distro I've seen that's reasonably well put together.

Actually I think gnome 3 is (at least wasn't) too bad compared to Unity, UX wise - I just personally preferred KDE.
Edit: this -

Anything specific I should be aware of wrt OpenSUSE?

Probably nothing that can't be easily dismissed as personal preference. I recall YaST had a bad habit of unnecessarily cycling network interfaces when certain changes were made, but that was a long while ago.
RedHat makes their money on support licensing for the server. Employees are paid to work on Fedora, but it is not the RedHat product.
