The biggest issue I have with arch is it not being used for any professional work. Why should I learn pacman when I'll have to use apt/dnf anyways? Arch will never be more than an enthusiast distro imo.
Please tell me why Arch can't be used for any professional work.
pacman is much simpler to use and plus that they wrapper for it, I personally use yay and it is really easy to use instead of sudo apt-get install/upgrade
sudo add-apt-repository "deb blahblahblah.com/ saucy-update universe multiverse"
and then making sure to sudo apt-get update. this is just plain annoying.
No it isn't an enthusiast distro. Did you install arch before? if not, don't knock it without trying it.
I'm not really sure what you mean, the software industry avoids rolling releases for no reason in your opinion? I have tried arch, but I didn't really see a benefit to it so went back to something more useful for me. Manjaro was interesting too, but my system broke at some point and I couldn't be bothered to fix it.
Manjaro is not Arch, that's why when it "broke" you wouldn't bother fixing it. Manjaro would be the equivalent of Ubuntu.
Arch would be the equilavent of Debian.

It isn't stable enough to maintain on hundreds of machines.
That's a weak argument; non Arch users do not have any problems with stability. But feel free to stick with Ubuntu.

To clarify, I tried both arch and manjaro and neither worked out for me.
I am tempted to try Debian as well; but I am at Manjaro for hope of Rolling releases.
Maybe I should try Arch. But I fear only one thing - proprietary drivers.
Debian is a good choice if you want something which will translate to software development. Many container images are based on debian.
