regularly broke after every update.
Having used Arch for years and experienced the same thing years ago I've found that stability has greatly improved in the last year or two. I believe they were going through some major transitions back then and now have found a good stable foundation which they are now building on.
I haven't had it break in a very long time and having brought this up before on HN I've had many other people share a similar experience with Arch.
Although this is possibly due to the fact I've become significantly more experienced with Linux as a result of my professional work. Dedicating yourself to a single distro and becoming deeply familiar with it can be rewarding in that sense.
