I was using SuSe instead of Debian for a while, does that count? My impression: SuSe is quite stable and the default configuration is quite usable for people that are used to a GUI. As far as a replacement for Microsoft...depends on how closely you are bound up in MSOffice and whether the office apps that SuSe packages meet your needs adequately. In short: try it and see if it does what you need. You should be pleasantly surprised by the level of professional "fit and finish" the folks at SuSe have put into their distribution.
