I recently picked up a copy of SuSE 9.0 Professional. I have never used or been familiar with a SuSE product before as I've only used Mandrake, Red Hat, and a bit of Debian. After using Red Hat for a while I decided to evaluate SuSE and I am now sorry for not having tried it sooner.

I'm really comfortable with KDE, so SUSE fits my needs nicely. SUSE keeps an updated repository of KDE builds, and the "all of KDE" install option is pretty much just that. Makes it easy to be All Things KDE.
Gnome support seems fine, though I'm less qualified to judge. I would warn folks away from installing the Ximian desktop on SUSE unless you don't mind some violence to the KDE desktop and YaST. There are work-arounds for most of the problems, but Ximian installs Nautilus shortcuts directly into the shared Desktop file and moves all of KDE's icons into a new folder. YaST doesn't appreciate all the Ximian-modified Gnome files. I'm sure all these problems will be rectified now that Ximian and SUSE are all part of the same stable.
