Its configuration tools interfere with manual tweaking a lot of the time, and the standard install doesn't include things like a [Compiler], make(1), locate(1) and others that really should be available on every "real" system. While you can ignore the configuration tools and remove all the automatisms, that certainly means no less work than setting yourself up on a less "puffy" distro.
The official capitalization of the name (SuSE, SUSE, Suse, etc) has been changed so many times that it's best to just refer to it as [Suse] out of resignation as much as out of spite.
