For just about the longest time, I have been using Manjaro OS, which is based on Arch, btw. Why do I use Manjaro? I believe no Linux distribution is “perfect”, but you can only get close with your own customization. If you don't explore the different ways of how to make you Linux install better suit your needs, then you cannot truly enjoy the advantages and freedom Linux offers.

I struggle to use any other window manager other than i3. After customizing and editing the config file, I find myself to be much more productive with i3, than any other window manager. The main element I enjoy about tiling window managers is the lowered frequency of mouse visits. Each time you visit your mouse, you are taking away your [right] hand away from the keyboard. Then, to continue working, you have to bring your [right] hand back to the keyboard. This, although a small and seemingly disregardable movement, piles up and can get very bothersome. With i3, I can ope and close windows, resize them, stack or tabify my windows, use different workspaces, take screenshots, extend my laptop screen to my monitor, etc… all without taking my [right] away from the keyboard! Isn't that neat!

Vim and Neovim all the way. I wrote my college application essay, and programmed my thesis application, all in Vim and Neovim.Esc :wq
