Eh, I can't really agree. I'm totally capable of installing Arch, I've installed Arch and Gentoo and all kinds of random distros in the past, but the reason Manjaro is on my living room PC is because it's basically here to run a web browser and I wanted the lowest effort rolling release distro to install. Did I still have to do some annoying things at a low level to deal with some weird wifi and audio stuff? Yes. Was it easier and faster than ground up Arch? Yes.

Are there better options? I wouldn't be shocked. But it wasn't worth my time to do a big comparison. (Note that I would not necessarily install Manjaro today, but I do think wanting a more out of the box Arch is totally reasonable.)
