Two big differences with Arch and derivatives though:
1. AUR - almost anything you could need.
2. rolling releases - I admit I haven't used Ubuntu in a long time, but I use Debian for a variety of things, and it can be painful to need a release upgrade in order to get the next version of some piece of software. With Arch and derivatives, as long as you do updates regularly, everything stays new.
