A friend of mine did so too, on my suggestion. I have been using Arch for more than two years. I disagree that pacman is an outstanding package manager. It is very good though. You should try portage on Gentoo. I used Gentoo before going for Arch. I still have Gentoo and whenever I want a system to be stable for long time, I will use Gentoo. I use Arch because it is bleeding edge. From Gentoo I learnt so much that Arch practically had little less to offer.
