Example? I've never once "broken" something by installing a program from source.

If you install form source, you lose all the advantages of a package manager (updating, clean uninstallation, dependency management, etc).

pacman (and makepkg) make creating your own package stupidly simple. (not to mention that the official repos + AUR have an immense amount of packages present already).

I haven't either, but I've had trouble trying to uninstall them later.
