I'm an Arch newbie (started using it in January this year). Never had any issues with rolling updates. A few times the update required manual intervention, but that was documented on the Arch website and took about 30 seconds to fix. Historically, I've had more pains with upgrading on Ubuntu-based distros (but in all fairness I've been using them for much longer).
