is there any other reason that people use arch though?

AUR, you get to choose what you want, not source-based like Gentoo is, quicker to install and use than Gentoo. That's my personal opinion, though.

>you get to choose what you want
you can choose what you want on pretty much any distro though. I know Debian lets you install a barebones system with no DE, no software, pretty much no nothing except the coreutils and such, and I know plenty of other major distros give you the option.
>AUR
A lot of distros have very big repos these days. and if what you want isnt in them no distro stops you from compiling it yourself.

In my personal preference, the AUR is just press a few keys, wait, and you got your program compiled.
You can also install deb and rpm packages by using PKGBUILDs, though Ubuntu and Debian have Alien to convert rpm files to deb.
>you can choose what you want on pretty much any distro
I do agree with you, but the AUR and PKGBUILDs have been a boon to me. If you choose a minimal install of distros like Ubuntu, Debian, etc, more power to you.

Except this is the entire point of "using" arch, muh edge.

>It's pretty easy for me
sure after the 6th time it's broken you've memorized the install process, doesn't really count versus never having to have "learned" anything to install ubuntu.
