I think arch Linux is most suited for devs

Bleeding edge and constant update might be something that slows how you ship software. So far, I'm on the fence of defaulting to Arch for dev. it is for advised and advanced users.

i disagree, arch is the only distro that has given me zero problems so far and i have been using it for better part of the year. i think being a developer you need access to newer tools and arch provides that, however i understand that some developers might want to be on the side of stability and i think the AUR has them covered, and it isn't too hard to package a piece of software you want.
