To each his own, I suppose. Personally, I roll Arch on eight computers at home and work, no neckbeard required. I install exactly what I want at first install (Awesome is my preferred tiling window manager), and updates are performed when I want, which is much better than automatically. Apart from systemd, which I haven't gotten around to excising yet, there is no cruft anywhere. Plus the added bonus of never having to upgrade to the latest distro version.
