I’ll be honest, at this point my main reason for using Arch is prety much just habit, but I will say that whenever I hop on another distro for some reason (usual in a docker container) - I always find myself annoyed at the lack of the AUR - though I understand that distros like NixOS also have comparable solutions.
But between the install script, the AUR and the Arch Wiki, it’s actually an absurdly user friendly distro these days - it’s odd that it still has the reputation as being some thing that only try-hards would use

It got its reputation probably because it’s a very minimalist distro by default, and you can configure everything.
It’s perfect once you set it up to your liking, but it does give you a proverbial gun you can shoot your foot with.
