Counter point: I find Arch Linux to be the opposite. I've spend more time tweaking it than any other distro. However, that may be because it is so tweakable. Also, things like to break in ArchLinux on normal updates more than other distros, so be prepared for some .pacnew tweaks if old config files aren't compatible. That being said, I run Arch on my secondary machine, and it's the best fit I've found in the *nix world.
