  I need a lot more than twenty minutes to learn about and ascertain the validity of some third party installation robot, which your choco-thing appears to be. I then need some minutes to get it started. And yes, installation proces itself took something on the scale of ten to twenty minutes. Pacman -Syu (or Pamac if you're in a clicky mood) took care of everything in less time than the BibTeX took to download download.

      If you fail to understand the difference between an integrated package management system overseeing all or most software installation, and a third party bolt-on component like your chocolate robot, we may not really have the basis of a meaningful conversation here. Anyway, I am not putting anything or anyone at fault. As clearly stated, I was relaying some anecdotal evidence of probably very littly use to the world at large.
