Zypper handles multi-repository setups much better than anything Debian-based thanks to the notions of vendor and vendor change. If you need to install proprietary software, add restricted codecs, inject a few bleeding edge packages, or run your own repo (very easy to do via the free openSUSE Build Service, a public instance of the Open Build Service), this feature of the package manager is super nice. openSUSE has some very good automated QA via OBS, too, so their rolling release (Tumbleweed) is more stable than you might expect.
