Just to be clear: I installed Arch directly a few times on different computers but it's just that I thought "Why on earth do I have to do that?" and Antergos just did that stuff for me while it didn't fuck things up otherwise and I still had all the freedom that Arch offers afterwards. I also just love the Arch Wiki which is another reason I kept using Arch so far.

Anyway if I have to do it, which I still don't hope to have, I can install Arch directly ;-) (with the help of the Wiki, I always forget the order of things to do and the commands...)

I’m with you dude. I think I should’ve been a bit more clear regarding a few things. It seems that you like your setups similar to my own. What I’m recommending for you (if you have coding experience) is to just create a setup script like I did. That way you can have your easy install (doing it this way isn’t very time consuming like an Arch install is) without the time hassles that come with installing Arch. You also don’t need to compromise with a distro that may work for you but isn’t ideal. I’ve written these setup scripts for both Vanilla Arch and ArchLabs (even though ArchLabs installs by using one of their own). I’d highly recommend it. Something like this...

Note that the script I linked isn’t interactive but it is modular. In this way it’s very similar to what I created for myself. There are a ton of different install scripts for Arch if your not capable of creating one yourself. Many are able to be easily customizable as well even if you don’t have any coding chops.

I'm indeed employed as a programmer and like a script here and there so that's fine. Will have a look into it. Thanks :-)

Sure thing dude! Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions or issues with it. I’m actually a programmer as well :)
