I wonder why it's being said? Unless they refer to various tools that more newcomer friendly distributions include, which Arch, by design, lacks.
I'm actually surprised Arch didn't do better in this poll. I would think it would be the first or second choice for BSD users. An /etc/rc.conf file, minimalist default install, , flexibility in using binary or source...
I was also surprised by how many of us use a variant of RH, e.g., Fedora, CentOS, etc. I'd think that the average BSDer would very much dislike its bloat and weird way of organizing the system. On the other hand, CentOS itself, though it suffers from these things, is pretty stable and perhaps that's what we liked.
