I disagree. I stopped distrohopping 20 years ago (my first distro was Slackware installed from a set of dvd's). Settled on Arch. Everytime I upgrade my PC I reinstall Arch, transfer my /home partition over, install packages and that is it really. I do not see the appeal of sticking everything in a bunch of config files at all.
