Pacman doesn't just trash your system all the time or anything, and nobody's xorg.conf has probably gotten broken in a decade, but sometimes arch and pacman do still do really retarded shit for no reason.
I also really don't like the config update merging. Gentoo has dispatch-conf which is official and just werks always. Arch just shits out .pacnew files everywhere and you're invited to use one out of a dozen unofficial unmaintained rando scripts or else just trawl through them all manually.
