I personally prefer this "manual configuration" to that provided by 
distros like Ubuntu and such. My nearly 7 year old laptop runs much 
faster with Arch than it did with Kubuntu (which was my first Linux 
distro I fully used) as only those applications, services etc are 
running that I truly need (and I don't use any desktop manager, only a 
slim window manager ^^)
