setting rc.conf and locales is a pain
Maybe it is if you're comparing it to doing everything in a GUI, but the rc.conf system is *simple* compared to most SysV init systems, it's one of the reasons for Arch Linux's popularity. (Amongst people who don't want the limitations of GUI configuration systems, at least.) Compare it instead to configuring Debian or Red Hat without X, and you'll see that its actually quite simple. (Though Debian through debconf and Debian-specific utilities hides some of this.)

Now if only it was as easy to install as *Buntu/OpenSUSE, it'd be perfect. Call me old but I'm just tired of setting up everything by hand, especially if I have multiple PC's.
