This is by far my distro of choice, but as allways there are some minor problems, at archlinux it's the packages. They aren't as bind as for example Ubuntu, Fedora,... from my experience to say.
One example is the KDE+HAL+pumount that doesn't for example eject CD's nor umounts some USB drives, or the bluetooth support.
This minor problems wich became a problem when are detected only when a person needs and find that they exist. One point on favor... the bug report system works as the forums, a person can post and get results in minutes.
As that said, ArchLinux is a nice distro for power users that are unaffaind of getting their hands dirty in forums, howtos and bug reports. In overall... give it a try
