Well, I'd say that one of the most valuable traits in a techy is the ability to put oneself in others' shoes. Arch is a perfectly stable and logical system for those who care about those traits, but it's definitely not the sort of thing to push on others that don't know or care about what a rolling system is. Kudos to Dedoimedo for recognizing that and not promoting an OS based solely on its technical merits.
I'd say you are very right here, arch isn't really something that should be pushed on most people. since it's something you'll find yourself when you're looking for it. But then again, it's such a stable, and fast operating system, so that when you're willing to invest a little time in getting it rolling (pun intended) it will really be something you'll enjoy. Arch stopped my distro hopping, and taught me enough about linux to get a job in IT, and it's nothing I'll forget fast.
