As someone who has run Arch on their main PC for a year+, let me tell you it's not all roses. pacman may be simple, but it lacks many features you have come to expect; don't be surprised when everything on your system breaks when you pull in an updated library. Don't be surprised when pacman pulls in a new kernel without noticing, your machine fails to boot because it has nuked all of your old kernel modules. While I agree that the rolling release model is attractive, it requires a much more robust package management system to be practical for people who do not live on the bleeding edge 24/7.
