I think the OpenSUSE build service makes OpenSUSE the true developer workhorse. Often when developing software you need the latest software, often unreleased. There's a decent chance someone has already taken the time to make builds of it in the build service. Like as a KDE developer, they build KDE trunk which is quite handy. I don't really miss having my computer grind for hours updating the latest trunk.
OpenSUSE doesn't have any tools to make it particularly easy to install and track software you are developing yourself. There is room for a distro that does this well. Arch Linux might be the closest here, but I dunno if thats really their mission.
