I've always found Arch to be rock solid but also enjoy the community and speed of Zenwalk. After using these Ubuntu just didn't cut it for me any longer. There was also some issues with the Ubuntu community in general but I won't go there.
Well at the beginning I pretty much thought the same about arch and the "bleeding edge" part of it.

I've started checking versions of packets just out of curiosity and many of them weren't new, actually parts were outdated.

The reason is imho that the distro don't has that much developers.

Another thing I don't like about arch is that they just dump everything in /opt

And the major problem I had with them, as a kde user, is that they don't have a modular kde in their repos, ok there is kdemod, but it's third party.
