To paraphrase one of the best "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episodes, "Best of Both Worlds", both Arch Linux and Slackware represent the best of all the OS worlds: the power of traditional Unix, the elegance of BSD and the ease of mind of Mac OS X. This is an article outlining the differences between --what I believe-- are the two best Linux distros around today. Mind you though, "best" doesn't always mean "easy".

I was a daily user of Arch for 9 months or so. The package stability problems are very apparent to an intensive user. Some major ones end up being revised 3 or 4 times.
The strategy is to hold off until others stumble over the problems. Not ideal, but it works
Other than than, it is very clean and neat and fills a niche. I got sick of the tweaking required and decided to go for something a little more out-of-the-box like.
BTW, I though Eu's clarification was quite reasonable. The response was .. ahem .. not.
