Is it just me or has Arch been getting increasingly crap and user hostile?

My friend's Arch setup broke after updating for no reason and now I haven't updated from fear

hasn't user-hostile been sort of arch's shtick all along? I tried it a few years ago and it felt just like installing Linux did in 1995

Well, the wiki and the forums had been great, and I liked a lot of their abstractions. They did make some user-hostile (arguably in favor of keeping things simple) move early on, like getting rid of the curses installer in favor of a ptty and a readme....

If you're talking about the Arch Installation Framework, I believe that was abandoned because nobody had time to maintain it?
