One also shouldn't form an impression of arch (or any other distro) from the experience of one user. I've had this arch install for over 10 years and don't remember having any issues like that; while hearing plenty of people having issues doing major version updates on more "stable" distros. Arch specifically attracts people who want to learn how things are put together and mess with their system, which are also the kind of people most likely to break things.
