I've seen a lot of people who quite dislike Manjaro, and I'm not really sure why. I'm myself am not a Manjaro user, but I did use it for quite a while and enjoyed my experienced, as it felt almost ready out of the box. I'm not here to judge, just wanted to hear the opinion of the community on the matter. Thanks!
As you said, it's ready out off the box but most arch user dont want so many packages (like me) and change to a lighter OS like endeavour or so. It doesnt comes with all preinstalled so i can decide myself if i need it. And there where some mistakes that the dev team made (pushing the false kernel or so) which made some user quit
