I used Manjaro for about 3 years as my first daily driver Linux install, and I agree with you about the functionality. But I think where most people take issue is the unusual errors and behaviors that the maintainers have demonstrated in the past. Most people (including me) don’t want to even have to think about what would happen if the people maintaining my os updates screwed up and luckily us Linux users are spoiled for choice, so people choose/recommend other options.
Manjaro is great.
It just has a bad reputation among those who can’t think for themselves.
