It has new libs like new GCC etc. However, it's not nearly as usable as arch. Things like vim configs have differences.

- striking 11y agoYou can always update the configuration to better match Arch's and file a pull request against it. Here's the link to the msys2-packages repo for Vim, for example: https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/tree/master/vim https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/tree/master/vim Same build system and everything, it just requires some finagling and copying of the PKGBUILDs.
