Ask HN: Using Arch linux and C#/mono?

I typically do my Linux website/web app development on a LTS version of Ubuntu desktop but the changes they've made like sending search results to Amazon and the age of some of their packages really makes me want to use Arch because of the distro's rolling release policy.

And this is pretty obvious but for windows web app development I use Win8, C# & MVC3/4. I'm looking into the mono project and it looks really cool. At this point in my development career I really like statically typed languages and don't mind the compile/test cycle and with my windows experience C# on Linux seems like a natural exploratory step.

Does anyone here have any recommendations or opinions on using Arch 1) as a developer? (I'm wondering if a constantly moving dev environment is going to cause a lot of trouble down the road or if the constant stream of updates will be good as it forces the latest and greatest)

2) to develop web applications using the mono runtime and MVC 3 or 4 specifically?

If using Arch is a bad idea and there is a distro that does mesh well with using mono that would be great to know as well.
