There are different usecases for different people. For the people who like Arch, installing everything yourself is a value-add, to us it means the system gets out of our way. You set it up one time and it just works.
It feels very odd to describe it as “getting out of the way” when it’s actually getting in the way with its lack of features.
I’m not trying to say people shouldn’t be using or enjoying distros like Arch or Gentoo, I just find the way people talk about them peculiar.
