Their download button actually points to a selector, not directly to an ISO.
That would be the SUSE that along with Mandriva got completely panned
when Ubuntu showed up, then?
Is the situation Fedora is in essentially better? I feel no.
Reality is, when mentioning Fedora to Linux users, I am having
difficulties to not get laughed at. "Freaks'/nerds' distro", "Ubuntu is
much easier", "Fedora lacks soooo much", "Way too unstable", "Way too
short life-cycles" are the usual answers.

Yes, primarily because they did not make enough money to satisfy their
shareholders. Nevertheless, at least in Germany (SUSE had never played a
major role outside of Germany), openSUSE seem to have a pretty stable
and solid user base.
