I have used it. Doesn't make sense using it at home. It's the same as opensuse. Only, the repositories are different. The repositories have more stable software which doesn't make sense for a home user, who'll want a more cutting edge technology.

SLED can be used for free, as long as you don't need support from them.

But the cost of SLED 10 in India is about Rs. 2500, how will you get it for free? Not by illegaly downloading its torrent i wish?

No, the cost is for support and updates from official channel, beyond 60 days. I got it and used it for over a month, free of cost and non-pirated. There's no piracy under GPL. Piracy is left behind in EULA's.
