Arch here as well. For me it's rolling release that's the selling point. I've maintained the same arch install on my desktop for five years with minimal maintenance required. The only reason it's not ten years is I built a new PC and didn't carry forward my old root drive. Arch is much less work than is advertised once it's up and running. No dist upgrades or reinstalls when a new release comes out. Just keep it updated and pay attention to the website in case something requires manual intervention to update.
This is similar to my situation. It's out of laziness at this point because my two installs just keep working.
If it ain't broke...
