As for GeckoLinux, yeah, it can be nice for newcomers.
Personally, I don’t need most of its changes (e.g. I don’t even have any proprietary or patent-encumbered packages knowingly installed), so for me it’s simpler to get to my preferred system via vanilla openSUSE, but yeah, many people might prefer GeckoLinux instead.
