openSUSE's Brockmeier sees distro coming into its own

I've tried openSUSE for a little bit just about every time they come out with a new release. I do like a lot it has to offer. I know I'm in the minority but I like the SLAB menu. And overall its a solid stable distro. But I always leave because I loathe RPMs and thy always cause some sort of trouble for me. This is the one spot where openSUSE isn't innovating and isn't coming into its own. I'm not saying they should switch to apt, because, even though I fine apt to be a lot better it is far from perfect. It just feels like packaging in linux is stagnant and of all the common package formats RPM is the worst but still most used.
