People with tight dependency with RHEL usually have a hard time migrating to SuSE Linux, and vice versa. For example, SuSE Linux is popular among meteorologists running their own weather models. A few years ago, I was trying to run a popular open source weather model on CentOS and failed to do so after a few days of full time tinkering with the source. Gave up and installed OpenSuSE and I got it up and running in a couple hours.
