It has been my main distro for years now,
and I have only enjoyed the experience.
2 points you’ll likely mention which do not make it a bad distro:
The certificate of their website expired twice
If you use AUR packages,
sometimes you need to wait with an update since they hold back official repo packages for a few weeks to ensure stability, which AUR packages might depend on.
Stop the distro hate,
it divides the Linux community…
Instead we should unify against M$/iFruit,
and let people use whatever distro they like.
Which imo makes it a good distro,
idiots would not make a good distro…
Sure the people behind it made some doubtful decisions in the past, but that doesn’t change the fact that using it has been a bliss.
Additionally, it’s all open source,
so if they would ever turn anti-consumer,
it can be forked into another distro.
As I mentioned earlier, stop the distro hate.
I’m not throwing acquisitions against other distros, instead I let people enjoy whatever flavor of Linux they desire…
By now I helped a fair amount of Arch and other distro users through Lemmy / AUR / Issues, and I also learned a fair amount of Arch / Manjaro and other distro users.
Why?

Manjaro is run by idiots, prove me wrong
They have a long history of issues

Linux is not the enemy here,
not a single flavor…
