I've used yaourt for a couple of years now.
It has always worked for me for the most part, and having a common
command for everything is very convenient for me. alias y=yaourt and
you have one of the simplest ways to do a complete update of your
system, y -Syua

I always ignored people's comments because the majority argues that it
is "either too slow", or the "code is ugly".
These same people would probably be horrified looking through vim's code :P
These points alone do not make a very convincing argument for me,
which is why I grew numb to them.
