I tried SUSE maybe 2-3 years later than you (around 2003). The first thing I disliked was: they have yast on top of standard configurations. First of all, it is quite unpleasant to deal with: infinitely long single file containing all configs. Next, you change one single thing, and yast to enable your change touches all config files.
You need to create extra ".local" files to preserve your customizations. Totally different from RHEL.
All the hardcore distribution users out there (Slackware, Arch, Gentoo, Crux, FreeBSD) like to make fun of YaST.
Ever tried to connect any Linux or BSD desktop to an LDAPS server running Red Hat Directory Server for authentication?
With YaST it's done in less than 30 seconds in half a dozen mouse clicks, and it JustWorks(tm).
I can confirm that YAST is quite powerful and I wish it was like 'smitty' (AIX) and allow you to invoke it with command line params.
openSUSE has one big benefit which we do not have with CentOS -> you can upgrade your openSUSE to pure SUSE (if you need subscription) and you will be fully supported. RH refused to do that with CentOS - always reinstall.
Also, openSUSE/SUSE introduced booting and reverting from a snapshot. Now RH is on the same path with the "BOOM Boot Manager".
