I've had similar experiences long ago but not in the past .. seven years or so, and i use it as a daily driver. In fact I've encountered less bugs on arch, which follows upstream, than on other distros which often have their own patches and unsupported backports with their own problems.

I have had once a serious bug which rendered my computer unbootable, which i couldn't have solved without my fifteen something years career helping me. But it wasn't an arch issue, i would have had the same thing on debian.
