Agreed. pacman -Syu is a godsend. Of course that's just the face of a great package manager and packaging. In many ways on Arch you could make the argument that it just works.

It does not get any better than pacman for sure, but I'm pretty happy with apt-get update && apt-get upgrade :)

The best package manager on Linux I've ever used is Sorcery, although pacman is a close second.

I'm still partial to the *BSD way of ports, however.

Source-based distributions have their advantages but for me the biggest disadvantage is the wasting of my time.
