I think Arch was good back in the day.
Now not so good.
This sounds a bit inflammatory and over-generalised. Presumably what you don't like about Arch now is the fact that it will potentially change its default init system sometime in the not-too-distant future? I'd be interested to hear if there's anything else that has made you switch.
I have stopped using arch except for one server that does mail and DNS. It is presently being moved to "my own linux distro" based on LFS and using pacman for the package manager.
I'm genuinely curious about this: if you're using pacman as the package manager, are you building your own packages and hosting your own package repository, or are you using the standard Arch repositories? If it's the latter, it sounds like you'd end up with an Arch system that happened to be bootstrapped using LFS... Paul
