Arch Linux – "It is what you make it"

Yep. The one exception that immediately comes to mind though is OpenBSD. The devs there have no trouble telling the users "No!", and, although various individuals of them burn out occasionally, as a group they are talented and dedicated enough to keep moving on.

The result is an OS that still uses a text-based installer, that is still easy to get accustomed to, and is still for the most part super reliable, even after years of development and popularity.

If only some part of the world of software works like this...

SQLite, OpenBSD, Python, PostgreSQL. Robust, stand through test of time, high quality.

Instead Linux, MySQL, PHP win the popularity contest.

Agreed. OpendBSD is my choiche for my servers, altough I'd love to use it in my laptop too (macbook 5,1 - no luck).
