There are upsides and downsides. I love Arch and run it myself, but I'd never recommend an 'easy Arch' variant, because I imagine it'd suck. Arch with it's rolling release setup works, in my experience, because I know my system - all except the most core of the core components I'm never going to touch were installed by me and I know they are there and how I configured them, because I did it manually. No magic. When something goes wrong, I know why, and where to look to fix it. Rolling release adds a small amount of instability (although far less than you'd think), and I imagine that combined with the 'magic' in a more pre-built distro would be really annoying.
