I've considered switching to arch because of that.

Manjaro has access to the AUR as well, and it's as polished as any distro I've used. For me it's the clear winner for developers and hobbyists

I completely agree. Having used Manjaro (xfce and i3 variants) as main OS for half a year, it has been a good experience.

To be fair, I can't compare with other distros as this was the first time I used Linux as main OS.
