Greetings sofasufi from the Isle of Man
Like many been distro-hopping for a while (trying to get something I like better than *buntu) and have to disagree with you to some extent
The path that Manjaro is going it'll be in the top 2 or 3 distros by the time it gets to release 1 (posted as earlyish 2014) it simply sets the standard that other distro's should be achieving.
I don't mean to place any scorn on other distros, just that Manjaro is slick, fast and easy to use (apart from plebs like me that is lol)
All the best mate.....and of course to all in the community which must be set to grow and grow
