Ubuntu is mostly about issues with canonicals practices, (I mean come on, I can't be the only one who remembers the litany of times canonical has betrayed users?) but there are some major practical differences. For example, arch is rolling release, has the aur as opposed to random ppa lists, and arch tries to keep it simple (not minimalist according to an arch dev that's a common misconception). Other than those sorta of things... you could say there's "not much difference" between almost any two distros. Especially since the Trojan horse systemd. I personally don't trust canonical at all. I bet more would think like this if they read up on them a bit more.
