No argument. I made the comment for the benefit of distro shoppers. They won't see it as off-topic even if it is.

I understand. I just fear that Arch users become another group of overzealous fanbois.

I have already seen the joke "How do you recognize an Arch Linux user? He will tell you" floating around on the web...

I consider myself to be an underzealot. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't already know how to get in and out of nano or vi.

My main motivation came from noticing the extensive support for haskell packages. I would have been happy to use a debian-based distro, but haskell seems to be too bleeding edge for distros like ubuntu to keep up.
