For myself, I appreciate the fact that almost all of the Arch packages are 'un-fooled-around-with'. Very often, I've run into issues with Ubuntu packages solely because they have their own strange versioning, and roll certain patches into weird versions. I think it boils down to the management philosophy: Ubuntu tries to make it 'as easy as possible', whereas Arch says, 'if you have a bug or problem, take it up with that program's developer'.
