I've been an Arch user for roughly 3 years. I'm pretty much familiar with it all - The way it boots, its configuration and its package management. I've also heard a lot of good things about Ubuntu, and wanted to try it for a long time. So, two weeks ago, I took the plunge. These are my findings.

I'm really kinda of surprised to hear you say Arch is easier to use than Ubuntu. Ubuntu is aimed at new Linux users and tries, when it can, to do the most sensible thing it can.
Now, nothing against Arch, but Arch's own wiki says "Arch is targeted at more advanced Linux users." In general, most people's experience is that Ubuntu is the best place to start. I wonder, if you didn't know anything about Linux, if you would still think certain things in Arch are "easier" than they are in Ubuntu.
Remember, what's easier to a long-time user isn't always apparent to a new user.
