That's one point. Most people I have been talking to, are German and 
thus quite likely have experience with the openSUSE. I for one, also 
consider it to be the most evolved partitioner amongst those 
installers/partitioners I've encountered throughout the years.

Another point people are referring to, is the "Usability" of Fedora's 
partitioner's GUI. Esp. users with some Linux experience (no absolute 
new comers nor experts/nerds), complain about "too much hidden voodoo" 
and shy away from installing Fedora, because they are afraid of the 
partitioner killing their existing partioning and them loosing the other 
OSes they already have installed (Often Win + Ubuntu).
